February 20, 2008 - Springs resident Robert Morsch walked over to his shower, turned on the knob and waited for the water to get warm. As the steam rose, the sweet and noxious scent of one-propanol, a volatile organic compound, filled the room.
Robert and Irene Morsch live in a scenic nook of East Hampton along Kings Point Road, with Hog Creek running through their backyard, which is a stone’s throw from Gardiner’s Bay. About two months ago, Robert Morsch and his family began to detect the scent of acetone in the steam of their shower. Morsch promptly called the Health Department, and following chemical tests of the well water, found the volatile organic chemical one-propanol in the water at fifty times the safety level designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
