Providing an alternate drinking water source will not prevent landfill gases from entering nearby homes. Most closed dumps generate highly explosive, highly flammable methane gas for up to a hundred years after closure. Carcinogenic chemical gases, found in most closed dumpsites, can migrate through the soil at least 1,000 feet from the perimeter of a landfill and collect in nearby homes. Government agencies need to protect Stamford residents from explosive and cancer-causing chemicals present in the landfill soil as well as in their water supply.

Negativity in this forum or anywhere else will not bring us closer to resolving the present problem. We cannot change what has happened. We have to focus on coming to a solution quickly; a solution that will ensure the longterm health of all residents of Stamford. Matt, may I suggest that you help jeff by providing some of your water for his household to use as drinking water?

Yeah, Jeff, let’s dig up every road in North Stamford. Dig a new well. My well water is wonderful.

How much would it cost for all of North Stamford to have city water made available. My well water is disgusting.

WHEN is the big ? We need City water now, not next Spring! and everyone should get charcoal filters until we get the city water because the water table etc. is changeable and no one will know when their well gets polluted. Just talk to me sometime about all the cancer that abounds in the houses on these streets!
