Following the revelation that cancer-linked PFAS contaminants, also known as "forever chemicals," are circulating in Kalispell's drinking water supply, city officials are hosting an open house for concerned residents.
Officials will be available Thursday to take questions regarding regulations, health advisory references, sample results and city actions in Council Chambers inside City Hall, 201 First Ave. E., between 3 and 7 p.m.
Officials announced the gathering after the Daily Montanan, a nonprofit newsroom, reported that EPA testing found two well sites drawing water contaminated with PFAS or perfluorooctane sulfonate. Kalispell was one of two municipalities in the state with forever chemicals detected in the water supply, the other being Hamilton.
