The creek is 3 to 4 blocks away on the the other side of the neighborhood. This proves my point that all of the groundwater in this neighborhood is contaminated.

Kent creek runs past Johnston Avenue, and at that point it runs downhill. The ground water is accessible to all homes in this neighborhood,so all of the wells are contaminated. saying it stops at a certain point is like saying the Rock river is clean after you cross Jefferson Street bridge. My entire family lived in this neighborhood since 1963. This issue has just begun.. I find it amazing that the ground water contamination stopped at Johnston Avenue.
