“Wake County first learned of the high levels of unhealthy chemicals in 2010 after a water sample from southeast Raleigh showed high levels of uranium.
From 2010 to 2014, the county tested about 400 wells and found the high levels of unsafe chemicals. Some people began getting notified in 2016; mass notifications didn’t start until this week.”
Obviously, all affected are in imminent danger!
/S
It took between 5 and 9 years to notify well owners?
Seriously?
Sounds like someone just got a new piece of Test Equipment or a new activist Administrator or a new idea on how to get more funding for the department.
“When you get a new Hammer, everything looks like a Nail.”
Radon in basements and wells has been a known issue for decades (or longer).
“When you get a new Hammer, everything looks like a Nail.”
I like that one :)
And when people there start glowing in the dark, we’ll know there’s an issue :)
Funny how no hard data was published...
So one gets their water test rsults back and compares that to what?
