April 22, 2008 - The city will spend more than $335,000 to extend water lines after the wells of two local households showed an above average level of contamination.
Assistant City Engineer Adolf Tarasevich said two homes tested normal, two residents did not allow their homes to be tested and one home showed a high level of trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) and one home had a high level of TCE.

Carcinogenic chemicals TCE and PCE are probably coming from the former military dump (landfill) beneath portions of Motorsports Park and Millville Airport, formerly the Millville Army Airfield. I would be very concerned about living on or near a dump containing cancer-causing chemicals and possibly live ammunition. In August 2007, officials found a World War II-era bomb where the raceway is being built. Extending water lines to homes will not clean up the widespread contamination. Here is yet another example of a dumpsite being covered up, not cleaned up.
