"As local lawmakers continue to pressure the military to do more to clean massive groundwater pollution near its bases in Bucks and Montgomery counties, contaminant levels appear to have increased in the past year.

That’s according to sampling data published by a number of affected water utilities.

Since the PFOS and PFOA contamination was first discovered in 2014, 16 public drinking wells, servings tens of thousands of residents, have been closed in Warminster, Warrington, and Horsham. Those wells were closed because they exceeded 70 parts per trillion (ppt) of the chemicals, the limit designated as safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
