Otsego shuts down 1 well with low PFAS levels

OTSEGO, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Otsego has shut down one well in its municipal water system after water samples showed the presence of PFAS, albeit below the federal advisory level.

According to the city's Facebook page, a private firm began testing the municipal water wells in May. 

Otsego says one of the city's three wells came back positive for PFAS.

The sample was 11 parts per trillion, well below the Environmental Protection Agency’s health advisory level of 70 ppt.

Otsego said although the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality said no action was needed, the city shut down well before, "seeking guidance on how best to proceed."
