"RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI-- After a number of wells were found with high levels of PFAS, an investigation is being expanded to include nearly double the amount of wells initially tested in Richland Township, the Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services Department said.

The department, in unison with the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), will expand the investigation area for PFAS in Richland Township beginning this week, the health department said on Monday, Aug. 13.

Residents within the expanded investigation area will receive a letter in the mail indicating the desire of MDEQ to test their residential water well and the date of sampling. If a resident is not home on the date of sampling, a door hanger will be left with a number that the resident needs to call, the health department said."
