The study included 2,000 different wells, and produced concerning results. 4.7% of all of the wells contained uranium concentrations beyond the CDC\u2019s recommendations. 3.9% contained arsenic levels that also exceeded safe measures. The belief is that some of these wells are becoming contaminated due to use of fertilizer or industrial waste. Both contaminants are linked to health issues like cancer risk or kidney disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A supervisor with the Connecticut Department of Public Health urged citizens to test their wells in a statement to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/connecticut-water-supply-well-arsenic-uranium-1581613\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newsweek<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He said \u201cany private well in Connecticut has the potential to have elevated arsenic or uranium. Private well owners should have their well water tested at least once for these contaminants\u201d. The department recommends any landowner that discovers contaminants in their well should find an alternative as soon as possible. Either through changing water sources or installing a treatment system, it is essential to stay safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The PIONEER system is the first of its kind whole-house lead, cyst and PFOA\/PFOS removal system.
