Our Purpose

Merrimack town water and private wells have been identified as PFOA contaminant area. We are home to St. Gobain who has been identified as the primary source of the this water contamination. Our group was formed to provide accurate and educational material on these chemicals and to advocate for the needs of the community. Advocacy includes town water filtration, blood testing for all residents, health monitoring and provision of resources for our community.  Ongoing efforts will focus on presenting data from our community health survey to advocate for our needs.  Clean safe water is a basic right.
