FRYEBURG, Maine — In early July, Fryeburg Water Co. told its customers that Well 2 off of Portland Street, one of two water source wells, had tested, on average, at 32.85 parts per trillion for PFAS, above the state’s interim standard of 20 parts per trillion.

The well was shut down and the town’s drinking supply now comes from Well 3.
