More tests needed to find Crestwood, Illinois contamination source

July 2, 2009 - Results from the June testing show area around the village's tainted well is contaminant-free, but chemicals from a nearby dry cleaner are polluting groundwater.

The results raise more questions than they answer in the investigation into Crestwood's secret use of the well to supplement drinking water for more than two decades.

More testing likely will follow in the effort to pinpoint a contamination source.

The officials in Crestwood knew that the well was contaminated. They still gave that water to the fammilies of Crestwood... little babies drank it mixed with their formula.

The Illinois EPA should be being investigated, not doing the investigating. The director, appointed by Blagojevich, should be fired.

The Illinois EPA knew Crestwood was using the well for years. Ask Shabu Vazha at the IL EPA.

I know, I blew the whistle.
