Ground and Water Contamination

The Morning Call had a feature article on Sunday regarding ground and water contamination due to underground fuel container leaks (read the article here).


The article included a situation in Upper Nazareth along Township Line Road, where a diesel dispenser from a trucking company in East Allen Township, leaked and the pollutants entered the storm water system. Some local residents, who have well water, have stopped using it for drinking. The article notes that clean-up takes on average five years and $125,000.
