BELMONT, MICH., – State officials found more homes with contaminated private water wells near the old Wolverine Worldwide dumpsite in Plainfield Township.
Kristi Meyerholtz, who lives in the 7000 block of Chandler Dr. with her husand and four children, got word that her house tested at 120 parts per trillion.
"Knowing that we’ve been in the house for as long as we have and raising our kids on this water — it’s really, really scary," Meyerholtz said.
Meyerholtz’s cousin Lisa Ingrahm lives next door. Her home hit an extremely high 10,320 parts per trillion.
Both the Ingrahm and the Meyerholtz families stopped drinking their well water in early September when initial reports of contamination surfaced.
The Meyerholtz family received some bottled water and gift cards from Wolverine Worldwide.
