Cottage Grove wary of water assurances
At a community meeting Tuesday night, residents voiced skepticism of a state study that said the safety level of drinking water was acceptable. About 80 Cottage Grove residents came to a community meeting Tuesday night armed with questions about the meaning of a Minnesota Health Department announcement last week that a 3M chemical in drinking water poses less risk than first thought. Skeptics included Kathy Lewandosky, who said too little is known about contamination from perfluorobutanoic acid, or PFBA, which has been found in city and private wells. She said that 3M should buy bottled water for affected residents. Explanations of the lowered health risk "proved nothing to me," she said.
