“My Community My Family” met at the Taylorville Municipal Building on Monday evening to release and discuss results from private testing that the group did. 

These are not the full release of all testing by “My Community My Family” but include a small sample size of the testing. There were wells, standing water, ponds, sediment, and soil tests were taken. 

The main cause of concern from Brenda Kimble the main speaker was the findings of Toluene-d8 in the well samples which according to Kimble isn't safe at any amount. 

The other concern from Kimble is that the Aluminum and iron found in the soil are at abnormal levels.

More results are expected to be released in the coming weeks. 

The community is reminded of a public hearing on March 26th at Lincoln Land Community College in Taylorville to answer questions from the public.
