      Worth noting: While the DoD released a public list of 55 sites with contaminated drinking water, several MORE communities have found military-polluted water in recent months. They are not on the DoD list.https://nyti.ms/2GENqEb

      Officials are still examining if drinking water contamination near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and Williams Air Force Base (both Arizona) was caused by the military.https://tucson.com/news/local/chemicals-in-drinking-water-worry-residents-in-marana/article_e89927fb-1b99-5a6a-9a87-02df64d36da0.html …

          Bottom line? The contamination is likely to go beyond those 55 sites.

          Replying to @julieturkewitz

          From 1953-1987 All military personnel, families and civilians who worked at Camp Lejeune NC or lived in military housing drank, bathed, cooked and swam in toxic water. A lot of us are dying, have cancer or have a lot of health issues.
