Georgetown residents: A Superfund site at 15 Vine Street, 8.1 miles away, contains unspecified hazardous substances. This means dangerous chemicals are present.

Do not drink water directly from sources at or immediately surrounding the site, and don't garden in contaminated soil there. Children are especially vulnerable. If you live very close to the site itself, consider testing your well water and soil.
