Firefighting foam contaminates public water for about 9,000 in Maine

  • Firefighting foam used in a fatal fire in Maine entered the public water system, prompting a do-not-drink order for about 9,000 Kennebec Water District customers.
  • The extent of the contamination is unclear, but the foam is presumed to contain PFAS chemicals that are dangerous and expensive to remove from drinking water.
  • Water samples are being analyzed to determine if the water is safe to drink, and officials hope to provide an update by the end of the day.
