MARINETTE COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) – Dozens of families in the town of Peshtigo are drinking bottled water as their wells have tested positive for contamination.
In December, Lamont received a letter from Tyco asking for permission to test his well.
Since then, Lamont has been instructed to drink bottled water.
"The State of Wisconsin has no standards for these contaminants, they don’t have any preventative action levels," Lamont tells Action 2 News.
Tyco provided this statement to Action 2 News prior to the meeting: "Tyco has been conducting testing of both groundwater and private drinking water wells, and has sampled over 20 groundwater boring locations and nearly 90 private wells.
Tyco will continue to work in close cooperation with and under the oversight of the DNR and DHS."
That starts with more well testing and then a possible fix.
Exposure to perfluorinated compounds comes with lifelong health risks, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"We’re going to pursue this, we’re not just going to leave this lay," Lamont says.
Action 2 News is in Peshtigo for the meeting.

Cate Gillon/Getty Images MONTECITO, Calif. – UPDATE The Montecito Water District released the following update on Tuesday, Jan. 23, regarding the state of their use of high chlorine to clean the pipes before lifting the Boil Water Advisory: The Boil Water / High Chlorine Content Notice remains in effect for most of the Montecito Water District.
In addition to indicating that water is non-potable, this notice informs the public about high chlorine content.
It is important to be aware that the Montecito Water District is in the process of super-chlorinating its water system to properly disinfect pipes in preparation for lifting the Boil Water Notice.
An elevated concentration of chlorine in a particular area is anticipated to last approximately 24 hours before being flushed out of the system and returned to normal levels.
If you are sensitive to chlorine or have any health concerns regarding the use of water with elevated levels of chlorine, it is recommended that you temporarily discontinue any use of this water and consult your health provider or the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department for more information.
Please refer to www.montecitowater.com or www.countyofsb.org for more information, including a map of the areas where the boil water / high chlorine content notice is in effect and locations of bottled water distribution centers.
For information on actions you should consider during and after the Boil Water Notice is lifted, please refer to information provided by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department.
Residents are advised not to use the water for bathing, drinking, or food preparation.
You should seek medical care if skin continues to be irritated and if contact is made in sensitive areas (eyes, nose, mouth).
The water situation in Montecito is considered an emergency and it’s unclear at this time how long super-chlorinated water will be in the system.

Video BREINIGSVILLE, Pa. – Some residents at a mobile home park in Breinigsville say all they want is clean water, something they say they haven’t had for nearly a month.
Residents say the water is so polluted they can’t bathe in it or even wash their dishes and it’s been this way since water lines froze nearly a month ago at the Green Acres Mobile Home Park.
On Monday night members of the park met to discuss the situation; pictures of brown water coming out of one resident’s bathtub and kitchen sink were shown.
Managers of the property say a boil water advisory was issued in November and then again in the beginning of January.
People say even after boiling the water you still see large lime scale floating on the top of the water making it unsafe to drink or even bathe.
Management at Green Acres say they did give complimentary water to residents.
A written statement goes on to say, "We are working with the Department of Environmental Protection to remove the precautionary boil water notice and in the meantime we continue to offer bottled water to all residents."
"They gave us water one time and they gave us a couple of gallons and they have never offered us water since," countered Dawn Sanderlin.
Residents say the last time the received water was on January 9, 2018, and it was just one gallon per person.

Bluewater recently launched the Bluewater Clean Water Movement in an effort to educate consumers on water quality and excess single-use plastics.
In order to support its goals, the company conducted a survey on American bottled water use and consumer trust in water quality.
The survey showed that the majority of Americans (56%) worry their drinking water contains harmful contaminants.
In addition, 60% actively take measures to help control what’s in their drinking water, such as using filtering systems and bottled water.
The survey found nearly 70% of Americans are relying on bottled water in some capacity, with one-third (33%) drinking more than five bottles per week.
The survey also showed that people who drink bottled water for control of their water supply are more worried about contaminants like lead, carcinogens, bacteria, pharmaceutical residue and microplastics compared to the general population.
“The science shows our water supply contains nasty carcinogens like lead and plastic.
Americans are aware of this, and taking action to control their daily intake, but it’s largely the wrong solution,” said Bengt Rittri, founder of Bluewater.
“Our culture has normalized the use of single-use plastic bottled water for much of our water intake, while creating a massive waste stream that further pollutes the compromised water supply.” The company has launched several initiatives to help reduce bottled water consumption including expanding its water filtration product line in the U.S.

Commercial, bottled drinking water has been become a major trend that has gained big-business momentum in South Africa in recent years.
However, as "Day Zero" approaches in Cape Town – the day, hopefully still to be avoided, on which water will no longer flow from the city’s taps – many people, understandably, are considering stocking up on bottled water.
Some people are really catching the "gees" of saving water.
Thank you Pattendens — and especially for sharing your ideas.
Local brand Henties, founded in 1998, is best known for its fruit juice, but it also produces still water.
Founder and CEO Hentie de Wet said that with city’s taps soon to run dry, they are well equipped and would not be running out of water to bottle.
Hentie said that the company has now taken to sourcing its water from a mountain in a farm in Worcester, which added to their expenses, but is working in their favour – as they will be able to bottle and sell water regardless of the dire situation in the city.
The company is also working closely with Cape Town’s water-demand management team.
Urquhart said that the company was using less water in its operations, too.
Production has been extended, so that water can be saved with fewer cleaning cycles.

Deposit return schemes (DRS) and reverse vending solutions for plastic bottles will be two of the hot topics at this year’s UK Bottled Water Conference, which takes place in London on 15 March.
A special breakfast briefing session at the event will feature a round-table discussion on how to reduce littering and promote recycling, while speakers later in the day will include James Lowman, chief executive at the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS), and Alice Ellison, head of environment at the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
Further sessions will review some of the latest market developments and innovations, with representatives from Coca-Cola and the Co-op among the panelists.
Richard Hall, chairman of conference organiser Zenith, said: “Ten years ago, the bottled water sector faced a number of challenges, from economic slowdown to growing awareness about environmental impact.
“While these pressures remain, bottled water’s responsiveness, healthiness and innovation have become a driving force for market growth.
Volumes are surpassing previous expectations, with flavour and functionality becoming ever more popular.” Full programme details and online booking are available at www.zenithglobal.com/events

Tammany Utilities working on long-term solution MADISONVILLE, La.
When Timber Lane resident Dawn LeBlanc’s daughter wanted to take a bath recently, she put a white sock over the bath tub faucet to filter the water.
LeBlanc’s neighbor Paul Dusang is frustrated.
"It is frustrating," Gorden said.
"It’s frustrating for the customers, frustrating for the Tammany Utilities staff.
On Nov. 17, 2017, a letter containing an update on a project to solve the problem of sediment and brown water was sent to residents in Timber Lane subdivision.
It is not the water system in Tangipahoa Parish.
"Connecting the Bedico Creek water system to the Timber Lane and Indian Trace water system, (we’ll) be able to get a good hard flush of that water system," Gorden said.
We will work on anything else to try and ameliorate the problem."
"It takes a lot of bottled water to take a bath," Dusang said.
