The town of Hinesburg applied for a grant to take a step towards managing contaminated drinking water from the town landfill. Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances — or PFAS — were found in the drinking water of two more residential homes in April 2023, two years after the town first discovered wells had methylene chloride and PFAS.
Residents packed in the town meeting area last week argued the volatility of the groundwater — the fact that detection levels of PFAS and other chemicals has been changing over both a short- and long-term period.
