Drinking water systems at locations in three Vermont ski towns — Stowe, Fayston and Killington — have slightly elevated levels of PFAS compounds.
None is a municipal water system.

The three systems with elevated PFAS levels — Birch Hill Water System in Stowe, Killington Mountain School and Fiddlehead Condos in Fayston — serve a combined 230 people.
