PARCHMENT, Mich. (WOOD) — Work continued Wednesday to get clean water flowing into Parchment.
It has been several days since officials announced high levels of PFAS, a likely carcinogen, had been detected in the city's municipal water system, which serves Parchment and Cooper Township.
“This is downtown Parchment,” barbershop owner Lamarr Blanchard said. “It’s a big concern.”
Blanchard has a few questions.
“The first question I would have is, ‘How long has this been (in the water)?’” he asked.
That question and others like it persists as crews work to bring Kalamazoo city water to Parchment. A new water main is going in on G Avenue in Parchment, with the work prompting a precautionary boil water advisory for 17 nearby homes through Saturday.
