The Panhandle News Network reports on ongoing community meetings in the Eastern Panhandle, including Martinsburg and Berkeley Springs, aimed at addressing PFAS contamination in local drinking water. Organized by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection alongside various local organizations, these sessions encourage public participation in identifying sources of these 'forever chemicals' found in several water systems across the region, such as Charles Town and Harpers Ferry. Residents are invited to share concerns and insights, which will inform PFAS Action Plans required by the PFAS Protection Act.
