palermo well field ground water contamination

PALERMO AVENUE & O STREET

The Palermo Well Field Groundwater Contamination site is located in a light commercial and residential area in the City of Tumwater. The site is surrounded by single family dwellings, private businesses, and recreational facilities. The Palermo Well Field consists of six water supply wells that provide up to 50% of the drinking water for the city of Tumwater. In 1993, routine sampling revealed the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE) in three of the six wells. The impacted wells were removed from service in 1993. Groundwater contamination at this site could potentially affect approximately 13,000-25,000 people. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal actions.
