Shrewsbury PFAS Treatment Plant Construction To Get Underway

SHREWSBURY, MA — The town will officially break ground on its new PFAS Treatment Plant project next week.

Construction at the plant at 45 Main St. will get underway on Dec. 11 at 1 p.m. The project will help Shrewsbury remove PFAS, or forever chemicals, from its water supply to meet levels below both state and federal limits.

Shrewsbury first identified PFAS in its drinking water system in 2019 and has since moved to develop a long-term solution. The town is one of many municipalities across the country developing facilities, like this one, which use advanced filtration technology to remove compounds from the water supply.

The project will be complete in the spring of 2027.

The construction will begin following a special groundbreaking event led by members of the Select Board, Town Manager Kevin Mizikar, DPW Director Timothy McInerney, and the design engineer, Tata & Howard.
