The Brunswick and Topsham Water District has opened a new treatment facility at the Jordan Avenue Station designed to remove PFAS from drinking water. The $20 million project, developed with support from the U.S. Navy, can process up to 1.5 million gallons of water per day and serves about 30,000 to 40,000 people. The facility was built in response to elevated PFAS levels detected in 2021. Although a 2024 firefighting-foam spill at Brunswick Executive Airport raised concerns, officials say it has not increased PFAS levels at the wellfield. The district has set a goal of keeping PFAS below 2 parts per trillion.
