Some families in East Palestine say they’re not confident in drinking water from their private wells. They want their water tested even long after the cleanup of the train derailment is done.
Linda Murphy lives roughly three miles from ground zero and just up the hill from Leslie Run Creek.The Murphys have well water but right now, they’re not touching it.
Their neighbors, Joe and Amanda White, worry about their well water too. They just returned home after a night away with a case of bottled water to share with their Golden Retriever, Murphy. The Ohio EPA told News 5 that they have not seen anything at this point to suggest private wells would be impacted.
