While the Department of Environmental Protection has expanded testing wells for toxic chemicals, the Fairfield town office has continued to distribute bottled water to residents whose water supply has been contaminated. According to David Madore, acting deputy commissioner for DEP, out of 31 wells that have been tested, 18 wells have levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFOA and PFOS, that are higher than the 70 parts per trillion limit set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
