The city of Camas plans to activate a well that repeatedly tested above state limits for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in 2025.

Well 13, located near Louis Bloch Park in southeast Camas, was expected to be turned on Monday or Tuesday “due to the increased demand in the water system,” according to a statement from the city. It has been offline since September.
