N.C. neighbors aghast to learn drinking water contaminated for years

A Wake Forest community is in an uproar after learning the state of North Carolina knew a resident’s water had been contaminated with toxic chemicals and failed to alert other residents for more than six years.

“It makes me feel horrible,” homeowner Michele Hamilton said of unknowingly giving the toxic water to her kids. “They’re the most important things to me.”

The EPA called families in the community this past summer, saying their water is contaminated with a cancer-causing chemical called trichloroethylene, or TCE, and to not drink, bathe or cook with the water.

I think the EPA needs to be put in their place. They are regulating the hell out of our corporations. How do you expect them to stay in the US.

Huh? You're right. Companies should police themselves. They always do the right thing.

From the link.


The problem dates back to 10 years ago, where circuit boards were cleaned with the toxin inside a shed on Stony Hill Road in Wake Forest. The TCE exited the building through a pipe and poured straight onto the ground.

The EPA were the good guys in this case.

Yes that is the hyper-religious Republican stance Natalia. Some of the believers here cannot appreciate .




They also don't realize that I have most likely studied the bible longer than they have.

Lol! So have I. Most atheists know the bible inside out. That's why we're atheists.
