Hilltown, Pennsylvania
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Hilltown faces a critical 10.0 hazard score because of its proximity to the Bergey Rd Well Sampling Superfund site and seven other nearby contaminated areas. Hazardous substances in the ground can seep into the water you use for drinking, cooking, or bathing. Since this site is only 2.6 miles away, invisible chemicals may be moving through the local environment. These contaminants often come from old industrial work and can cause serious health problems if they enter your home.
