ALGOMA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — As hundreds of homeowners await test results to find out if their wells have been contaminated with a likely carcinogen, they are using bottled water.
On Saturday afternoon, Gordon Water Systems set up water coolers at homes along Jewell Avenue north of 10 Mile Road in Algoma Township, west of Rockford. The neighborhood has switched to bottled water while testing is underway for PFAS, a chemical previously found in the Scotchgard that waterproofed Wolverine Worldwide shoes.
“We’ve got a proven whole-house and drinking water solution,” Gordon Vice President Tom Duisterhof said. “Today we’re setting up over 80 families with bottle water service.”
