Home values have not actually gone down. This all happened 26 years ago. I don't want to tell you anything I'm not sure of. Have actual home sales declined, though? Did fewer people move to Shannon in the early 2000s? The answer is probably yes, because people were afraid. There was a lot of contamination. Honestly, it was significant and devastating.
Today, we know where the plumes of contaminants are. Now that we have a water supply system, it's safe. There's no direct contamination. TCE is a heavy metal that tends to go down into the water table. It doesn't go up. As long as you don't touch the water table and put holes in it, there's no danger.
We always have to be careful. I should say that national defence has set up monitoring wells. It does a lot of monitoring. It's doing its job. It's not leaving things unmonitored. As a result, people are now coming to live in Shannon, and they're safe in Shannon. There are no contamination issues.
