This summer, the city and state launched tests of private wells in the area in response to a federal study showing unsafe levels of contaminants in soil within the park, a site used as a landfill from the 1930s until the early 1970s.
Most, if not all, homes in the immediate vicinity are not connected to water lines and use private water wells. The city found two pesticides on Hannahs Road and Very Merry Road that are above levels that the state deems may be harmful to human health.
