PFAS Public Informational Meeting and Kickoff Scheduled for Safe Water for Muskegon County PFAS Well Testing Pilot Project

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI — The West Michigan Environmental Action Council will host a public informational kickoff about PFAS issues in Muskegon County and the Safe Water for Muskegon County PFAS Well Testing Pilot Project on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 6 to 7:30 pm at Muskegon Community College. The event will introduce a new pilot program designed to assist private well users in Egelston Township, Muskegon Charter Township, and Moorland Township with PFAS screening. 

WMEAC has been working along the lakeshore since our inception, and we are working hard to partner with the community to continue protecting our globally unique resources along the lakeshore. This work is more important than ever as we work to combat climate change. We look forward to connecting with more neighbors, organizations, and leaders along the lakeshore in Allegan, Ottawa, and Muskegon County.

Welcome to Lakeshore Eco-Action, a new communication vehicle for WMEAC’s expanded focus in the Muskegon area and along the lakeshore.

The focus of this blog will be on action, so it’s aptly named.  It’s for folks who want to get active to protect the superb natural resources that provide such a unique and wonderful special quality of life for us all along the lakeshore.  We will be encouraging and supporting opportunities for individuals, organizations, businesses, and government to take the lead on a clean and safe environment, and especially climate action and clean energy to help make our lives even better!
