Residents of the Connaught Hill area in Lambertville have tested their water and found high levels of PFAS, more commonly known as forever chemicals. “The dump was not closed right!” said longtime resident Bill Pidgeon. Residents as young as 16 have been stricken with cancer. They blame the chemicals in the water and soil.
