The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has found high levels of PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals,' in roughly a third of drinking water well samples tested in the town of Unity. The DEP's Susanne Miller says the agency is in the process of investigating PFAS contamination at more than a thousand sites where treated municipal sludge was previously applied.
