Spraying Foam in Fire Training Excercises the Likely Cause of PFNA in Mayville Water Supply

Spraying Foam in Fire Training Excercises the Likely Cause of PFNA in Mayville Water Supply MAYVILLE – The Jamestown Water specialist Bill Boria with the Chautauqua County Health Department reported to the village board this week that a state investigation says the fire training foam that was used near the former Mayville school between 2014 and 2018 appears to have leached into the village water supply, resulting in the high levels of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) being discovered in three of the village’s water wells. The discovery led to a do-not-drink advisory being issued for two weeks in December. Boria said that lab testing on animals has shown that high doses of PFNA has caused adverse effects on the liver, thyroid, and immune system, and also contributes to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. There’s also some evidence that it delays growth and development.

At the same time they’ve sampled the monitoring wells they sampled them in the creek in three locations – one location near the wells and two locations upstream. They’re sampling soils, and they’re also sampling some surface water drains that they’ve identified as key locations to try to figure this out. We’re awaiting re

Chemical causing Mayville water ban was found in wells in 2019

Perfluorononanoic acid, or PFNA, the chemical that led to a do not drink order on tap water in the Chautauqua County Village of Mayville late last week, was detected more than a year ago in regular sampling of two of the three wells that serve the village, county and state officials said. This is not a new change to the water, Mayville Mayor Ken Shearer said during an online forum Friday. This is a little different from some other emergencies. Nothing spilled into our water program yesterday. This is a new test, something that has not been tested for before.
