An Act To Provide Water Service Infrastructure To Fairfield Residents Affected By Perfluoroalkyl And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances

LD 1111 provides $10 million in one-time state funding to the Kennebec Water District to expand water service infrastructure in Fairfield. This directly affects Fairfield residents whose private wells are contaminated with PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The bill allocates the funds specifically for infrastructure improvements to replace or supplement contaminated private well systems. The funding is limited to the 2025-26 fiscal year with no ongoing annual allocation. This is a targeted infrastructure solution addressing a specific public health concern in a defined community.
