TOMS RIVER: The Citizen's Action Committee on Childhood Cancer Cluster tonight will discuss the installation of carbon filtration systems on two United Water Toms River wells.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Dover Township Municipal Building, Washington Street. The public is invited.
The company began installing carbon filtration systems on wells 22 and 29 about two months, said Linda L. Gillick, who chairs the committee. Gov. Whitman ordered the company to install the filters last fall, after trace amounts of trichloroethylene, a suspected carcinogen, were found in well 29, along with tiny amounts of styrene acrylonitrile trimer, a chemical compound related to plastics production.
Gillick said the group also will also discuss 10 tentatively identified compounds that state officials have found in the water.
