MAYVILLE Days after enacting a “Do Not Drink” order for residents, Mayville Mayor Ken Shearer said the village’s response is “going as well as could be expected.”
The village has been under public health orders not to drink or use village water for drinking, cooking, food preparation, tooth brushing or for animal consumption since Thursday after a water test on Wednesday evening found a chemical called perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), detected at levels between 75 and 330 parts per trillion.
A water project had been ongoing in the village to change water lines and build a new water tank, Shearer said. That process has been expedited since Thursday, with the department of public works working to drill a new well.
