Wisconsin Pushes for PFAS Water Funds | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Governor Evers and state regulators are urgently asking lawmakers to unlock $10 million from a Tyco Fire Products settlement—fined for PFAS contamination—to deliver clean water, testing, and well replacements for Wisconsin residents in Marinette and Peshtigo, where private wells remain dangerously polluted. With PFAS linked to cancer, thyroid disease, and fertility issues, the DNR plans to use this new funding alongside its $133 million PFAS trust fund to install systems, cover maintenance, and offer blood tests—all while ongoing lawsuits target other manufacturers for cleanup costs.
