Comments about ‘Tainted groundwater is studied for cleanup at 3 Superfund sites’

this whole state is toxinated, too late..real fine job of stewardship and taking care of things. Now let's just fire up the coal plants, add some more uranium and bombard the surrounding states with more mercury. But no it's all propoganda!

Thank you for the informative article. As a resident of Bountiful for almost 60 years this concerns me. Remember to drink purified water and not the tap water.

I have been concerned about the perchlorate plumes in Draper and Brigham City and the contaminated milk, fruits, and vegetables in the area that Terry Wood reported on a few years ago from the testing of rocket fuel for 60 years.

The clean up of these issues can't happen fast enough for me ! Thanks to all that are helping us realize the importance of cleansing the total body of these toxins as well as all the others in our air and food to stay healthy.

The cities have been aware of the moving plumes for sometime. Show up to a Woods Cross city meeting and you are going to hear about it. As far as I know, the cities have been doing all they can. I am very surprised someone didn't tell the current owner about the problem, as dry cleaners are looked down upon in the area, because of this problem.

....and you're not aware that they're historically the worst polluters AND that there would need to be a clean-up? Gee, did you get that business at a rock-bottom price, knowing that it was polluted but that "this is Utah, and business RULES! Free enterprise!"

Frankly, I wouldn't buy an existing home unless I had such an inspection done (including that little place in the back corner of the yard, where Gramps dumped his motor oil and other toxic waste for 50 years).

Utah's new slogan: LIFE ELEVATED BY FUMES

As home owner and former residents of the area in Woods Cross located near many of these affected sites, I am surprised that this is just becoming an issue. In our neighborhood of roughly 120 homes we saw a large handful of terminal cancers and other odd health conditions in children and otherwise young healthy adults. It was an ongoing topic of concern and many of us stopped drinking the city water at all. It was one of the primary reasons we chose to move from the area. Although the city sends out reports saying the toxins are within allowed guidelines, it is a concern that they are only sometimes within "guidelines" and the rest of the time residents and children are drinking that water. I think many of the people in the area don't really feel they can buy bottled water for the rest of their lives and just hope the water won't hurt them. I just hope that it gets taken care of before more people get sick or die. We lost 3 people within eyesight of our home alone.

What part of Duh goes with water in Woods Cross or West Bountiful, or as the west calls it - Refineryville. Blame the dry cleaners, blame the old garages, but tests didn't exist 50 years ago that everyone takes for granted now. Watch the smoke after dark when the refineries need to squeeze a little more profit for the quarter. I'm sorry that you last 3 people within eyesight of your home - but you must have been blind not to see the industrial blight. Next up - floods on the West side of Redwood Road surprise new homeowners - unless they looked at pics from the 80s - Darn City why didn't they do something?
