PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Two Kent County townships have reached a settlement with Wolverine Worldwide to extend municipal water service to areas where the shoe manufacturer’s waste contaminated private wells with PFAS.
Plainfield and Algoma townships will receive $69.5 million under the tentative deal announced Tuesday. The settlement still needs approval from a federal judge, which is expected to come in the next few weeks.
The money will pay to extend Plainfield Township’s water infrastructure to about 1,000 homes in both townships and to filter out PFAS from the municipal system.
