Title
PFOA Detected in Hoosick Falls Drinking Water
What occurred
Even though Michael Hickey, a local resident of Hoosick Falls, discovered high levels in PFOA in the water in 2014, it wasn't officially announced until 2016 that the water was deemed unsafe by public officials. This marked the beginning of a long battle between the town and Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, the company responsible for releasing the chemicals.
