Hundreds of people showed up to Blanchette Park in St. Charles for a U.S. EPA meeting to discuss contamination in the Elm Point Wellfield. The City of St. Charles said it had to shut down four of its wells due to contamination.
“Your public drinking water has never shown any detections,” Clint Sperry with the EPA said. St. Charles Mayor Dan Borgmeyer said that is because they shut down the wells before contaminated water could ever leave the wells, pointing to an Ameren substation and a superfund site.
