The results displayed have been provided by an accredited lab. The results returned during this last round of sampling, illustrate data found by sampling raw water rather than water that has already been treated. Currently, Well 8 is only being operated on an as-needed basis to supplement water when the demand arises. There is no immediate risk. If there were, you would have been notified immediately. The Town of Thurmont continues to work with our engineers in the design of a filtration system to remove detectable amounts of these chemicals. In addition, the town will continue to monitor all wells in compliance with MDE requirements. For more information, please contact publicnoticequestions@thurmontstaff.com.
