How much farther will local officials go to look for hazardous chemicals in La Crosse area well water?
More than 100 wells have been tested near the La Crosse airport, but Carol Engle-Drury, an environmental health manager for La Crosse County, says the PFAS chemicals have not turned up in other places.
Engle-Drury tells a county committee that the well testing might be expanded in the near future.
All but 4 homes where high levels were found have accepted bottled water provided by the city of La Crosse.
