As Guilford County launches a new round of testing for a specific set of potentially hazardous chemicals in residential wells near Piedmont Triad International Airport, Greensboro is looking to move
Guilford County is asking certain homeowners for permission to test their well water for so-called forever chemicals, also known as PFAS. The county has contacted about 100 homeowners who live along Brush Creek and Horsepen Creek near the Piedmont Triad International Airport, asking them to participate in the sampling effort. Joe Johnson, with the county’s division of environmental health, says it’s too soon to say how officials will respond if high PFAS levels are found in homeowners' water.
About 100 letters were sent to homes near PTI Airport that may be impacted. The county is asking for permission to test the water for cancer-causing chemical PFAS.
