Newburgh City Manager Michael
Ciaravino has asked the state to arrange
for blood testing of City of Newburgh
residents following the PFOS water
crisis which forced the city to resort to
a new source of drinking water.
Elevated levels of perfluorooctane
sulfonate (PFOS) were detected in the
city water supply in March. Ciaravino
declared a state of emergency and, soon
after, the city switched its drinking
water source from Washington Lake to
Brown’s Pond.
