After a couple colder days, temperatures are expected to push 60° again to start the week off on Monday. A chilly morning start will lead to temps hitting 50° by about noon and reaching the upper 50s an hour or two after that, with partly sunny skies.
A similar day is expected on Tuesday, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 50s. The week will end with three days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) of temperatures on the mid to upper 60s, which is not common for mid-February. The three days of spring-like weather will come with variable cloudiness and a chance of rain on all three days, with Thursday being the most likely.
Town of Poolesville staff and consultants continue to monitor and research treatment options to remove the PFAS from drinking water wells, according to an update on the town website. This comes approximately two months after PFAS were detected in the water samples collected from wells 2 and 3 approximately two months ago. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are a group of over 5,000 human made compounds. Used since the 1940s, PFAS compounds can be in a wide range of consumer and industrial products and processes. PFAS released to the air, soils, ground- or surface water can enter into nearby drinking water sources.
Per the Town of Poolesville: Wells #2 and #3 remain offline. We are sampling all wells with the assistance of Senior Scientist Kathy Mihm, EPA and MDE. We have also identified a Granular Activated Carbon Filtration System that can be sized and used on the 2 wells. We are in the process of obtaining permission from MDE to pilot test the treatment system and identify the parameters needed for data collection. The process is rather slow as this is new to MDE so we are at the mercy of their timetable.
