2018 MDEQ  PFAS Testing

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has begun a statewide initiative to test drinking water from all schools that use well water as well as all community water supplies. The test is looking for a group of manmade chemicals called per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). EGLE is taking this precautionary step of testing these drinking water sources to determine if public health actions are needed.

Birmingham Public Schools receives 100% of our water from community water suppliers.  When testing results are available we will receive them from our municipal providers and they will be posted or linked here.

EGLE expects to complete all statewide testing by the end of 2018.

Please see this letter dated June 6, 2018 by Birmingham Public Schools regarding this program.
