Lake Elmo residents are invited to a public information meeting regarding the new PFAS limits for drinking water in private wells and water-related city projects at 6 p.m. July 25 at Oak-Land Middle School in Lake Elmo.

The open house will start at 6 p.m., with presentations from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Health and the city to follow. There also will be an opportunity for residents to ask questions, said Nicole Miller, city administrator.

“We wanted long-term residents and newer residents to have an opportunity to learn more about the new limits for drinking water that were put in place this spring by the EPA,” she said. “This will give residents a chance to hear from the experts.”

The Environmental Protection Agency on April 10 finalized standards of no more than 4 parts per trillion for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — sometimes also called “forever chemicals” — in drinking water.

The meeting will be videotaped and available to view later on the city’s website, Miller said. Notices about the meeting will be mailed to each resident in the city this week.
