Summary of Projects

Lead Free Williston received a grant in 2011 to fund additional water testing and outreach materials. The gun club has claimed that it is mitigating the pollution by spreading lime on its property. LFW would like to sample the water again to see the impact and to prevent hazardous contamination.
