ONWASA poured a glass of good news for consumers in Holly Ridge and surrounding areas as they did not find the man-made chemical per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) inside the two wells they previously shut down one week before.
The shutdown of the two wells was a precaution after the Department of the Navy announced the release of PFAS within one mile of the Dixon-10 and Dixon-11 wells located near Marine Corps Outlying Landing Field Camp Davis South.
