On May 29, the Minn. Pollution Control Agency and Minn. Department of Natural Resources held a public meeting to update local elected officials on the progress and schedule for developing long-term drinking water solutions for the east metropolitan area. The South Washington County Telecommunications Commission taped this meeting. A link to it is available on the 3M Settlement website.

In February 2018,  Minnesota and the 3M Company settled their lawsuit regarding natural resource damages associated with a group of chemicals known as PFCs. 3M is making a grant of $850 million as a condition of the settlement to address two priorities in the east metro area. Priority 1 is safe drinking water and groundwater sustainability. Priority 2 is restoring and enhancing natural resources.
