“CLARENDON, Vt. (WCAX) Students at Clarendon Elementary School will continue drinking bottled water despite contradicting tests of PFAS contamination.
The school was shut down Friday over concerns about PFAS in the water supply. The building is next to the fire department where the firefighting chemicals containing PFAS are stored.
Last week a positive test for the toxic chemical came back in the school’s well water and officials canceled school as a precaution. A second test this week came back negative.
