High Levels of Uranium found in Madison Schools

According to courant.com, very high levels of uranium was found in the well of two Madison, CT schools. This has forced officals to shut off water fountains and give out bottled water. The town has tested the water after the school officals received anonymous tips on October 28, that uranium has been found in the groundwater in nearby homes. "The town's other schools are not affected," Hale said, "because they get water from Connecticut Water Co., which regularly tests for such contaminants.". The test results came back on Thursday and said the two school's water had about 110 micrograms of uranium per liter. Officals held a meeting last night at Brown Middle School for anyone who had any questions or concerns. Hopefully, the problems at the two Madison schools will be fixed in the near future.
