The well was removed from service Feb. 3, when MDH called city staff to indicate a health advisory was going to be issued. Of Woodbury’s 19 municipal wells, water from seven wells now have detectable levels of PFAS that on repeatable occasion exceed one or more thresholds established by the MDH. Several of these exceedances are only slightly above the health parameters and have been below those values on prior sampling events.
Woodbury’s drinking water continues to meet State of Minnesota and federal PFAS standards and guidelines.More information on PFAs in Woodbury
