Earlier this month, the EPA announced that PFAS contamination from the 3M factory <a href="https://www.startribune.com/3m-will-treat-or-monitor-water-supplies-for-thousands-in-illinois-iowa-under-epa-order/600222036/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has created “an imminent and substantial endangerment”</a> of public and private drinking water supplies. 3M has agreed to investigate PFAS contamination in private wells and public water systems up to 10 miles away from the plant.</p> <p>We’d also like to highlight a feature on the Wisconsin Watch website: If you see a claim on social media about Tuesday’s election or one of the candidates — and you wonder if it’s true — ask&nbsp;<a href="https://factsparrow.repustar.com/tipline?org_id=3181&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=wisconsinwatch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wisconsin Watch’s tipline</a>.
