The day the Wausau mayor made the announcement about high levels of "forever chemicals" in the water, there wasn't a clear path forward.
No other Wisconsin municipality has faced a similar contamination, with PFAS found in all its wells. Other communities had taken wells offline to halt the flow of PFAS-contaminated water into the treatment system, while other wells compensated for the lack of water from the offline wells.Marathon County voters need to choose leaders who have their best interests in mind.

The city is also working with several nonprofits to identify and distribute pitchers to the homebound and non-English speaking community members.
The first round of residents will be contacted with pitcher pick-up instructions via email and robocalls starting Friday, April 1. Residents are advised to also check junk and spam filters, as the emails will be sent in bulk.
Wausau officials are asking residents not to call to verify whether they are in a current distribution phase.
Officials are notifying as many households as there are available pitchers for, so there will not be a need to be first in line. Pick-up will be at 2001 N. River Drive (north of WOW) and will be drive-thru/contactless. River Drive will be closed to local traffic only and will be one way.Related reading:

Wisconsin's GOP always does WMC's bidding. If you don't want real solutions, keep on voting Republican!
