PFOS contamination and Croton Falls Water District improvements
North Salem, NY
Summary
Croton Falls water tests between 4 and 6.5 parts of PFOS, and the state plans to cut the legal limit from 10 to 4 — likely by 2029. The town needs filters, a small building addition, and a second well hookup, and just received a county health letter confirming the future violation, which should earn grant-scoring points.
