Mike Brown, CFPUA Board chairman, will provide oonce daily update with information on activity surrounding GenX
Updates will beprovided each weekday. Below please find Chairman Mike Brown's daily update on[FP&4'sAquifer
Storage and Recovery well and Wednesday's Board Meeting.
1. CFPUA will remove approximately 48 million gallons of treated drinking water stored in the Peedee aquifer.
Tests show that the water at the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well on Westbrook Avenue is below the
GenX health goal of 140 parts per trillion (ppt) set by the NCDHHS, but above the average levels that we are
currently supplying to our customers. Because the water was treated and stored while Chemours was still
dischargin8GenX into the [ape Fear River, [FPUA has decided it is in the best interest of our customers to
withdraw that water from the aquifer.
CFPUA plans to start withdrawing the water in early September. It will be discharged to the sewer system, and
returned to the river downstream of all drinking water intakes.
To see the most recent GenX results from the ASR well, click here.
We will provide additional updates on this process as they are available.
2. CFPIJA will hold its monthly Board Meeting this Wednesday, August 9 in the Lucie Harrell Conference Room at
Z3UGovernment Center Drive. [FPUABoard Meetings are open tothe public.

4. For CFPUA customers who prefer water from an alternate source, CFPL)A is offering free water from a ground
source. This water is treated at CFPLJA's nanofiltration plant.
On July 13 [FPUAsampled water atthis Richardson NanoMkration Plant —which serves the free water station at
Ogden Park —for GenX and it was not detected. This water is supplied by aquifers that have not been affected by
Chemours' discharge of GenX.
Residential CFPLJA customers may fill their clean personal containers at New Hanover County's Ogden Park near
the tennis courts at 615 Ogden Park Drive. This is available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CFPLJA will continue
to offer this service until we confirm a trend line that is at or below the health advisory goal set by NC DHHS.
For citizens unable to get to the free water station, CFPLJA is partnering with the City of Wilmington and area
churches to provide free water from Ogden Park.
Churches will transport empty containers to Ogden Park where they will be filled with treated groundwater at
no cost. Church volunteers will then bring the filled containers back to the designated churches, where
customers can pick them up. Churches will be open for drop off between 9:00 am and 11:00 am every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, and for pick up between 1:00 pm and 3:00 p.m. on the same days.
