Fairfield moves forward with water expansion project as PFAS testing expands in Maine

As state agencies begin testing for “forever chemicals” at priority sites in Maine, Fairfield, one of the original areas in the contamination crisis, is moving forward with a plan to expand public water to affected areas in the community. The $48 million project would expand the Kennebec Water District, which already serves some parts of Fairfield, to reach a much larger area of town. The water district would take over operations and maintenance after construction.
