Open House for Well 7/7A on Thursday, August 20

A few folks took advantage of the DPW Water/Sewer Division's open house to showcase the Well 7/7A pump station. The wells were taken off line about 4 years ago when PFAS levels triggered the move to offline.



A 0% loan from the State in addition to water rates has paid for the upgrade and the well is back online providing clean water with no PFAS.



Franklin TV will return sometime to create a video tour for those who were not able to attend. 




Photos of the facilitiy can be found in one album -
