Sunset City residents should be on the lookout for an important mailing arriving soon from Hill Air Force Base. This mailing will contain an information packet detailing a significant initiative aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of our community: the testing of indoor air quality in homes and businesses, offered at no cost to residents.
Hill Air Force Base is conducting this testing to determine if chemical vapors, which may originate from groundwater contaminated by the base, are entering buildings in the area. This is a proactive measure to safeguard the health of our residents, and we strongly encourage everyone in the affected areas to participate.
The information packet will provide detailed instructions on how to allow access for the testing, as well as further information on the nature of the contaminants and the importance of this initiative.
The mailing is limited to homes or businesses located above or closely adjacent to areas of groundwater contamination, as shown on the attached map showing the affected area in Sunset. Drinking water supplies are not affected by the groundwater contamination.
To determine if your home or business falls within the affected areas, please refer to the map provided above. This map outlines the regions where testing is recommended.
We urge all residents and business owners within these areas to carefully review the information packet upon its arrival and to consider participating in this crucial testing. Your cooperation is vital in helping us maintain a safe and healthy community. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the contact information provided in the mailing (which can also be viewed by clicking HERE).
