Lebanon, OR

I don't serve the Lebanon Oregon area, but that county does lie next to Marion county. I wanted to get the word out about well contamination that has been occurring in that area.

The chemicals tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylele (TCE) are in the groundwater in some parts of Lebanon. This is not an issue for people that use city water.

So...if you are looking to move into Lebanon Oregon and plan to purchase a home that has a well, you need to check the well for these chemical solvents.

Oregon law requires that wells be tested for nitrates and coliform during a real estate transaction, but it can test "clean" for these and still have the chemicals in it.

So...buyers if you have any questions about PCE or TCE, you can call the DEQ at 1-800-844-8467 X 7349 for more information.

In an effort to get active in my new community, I joined the Partners for Progress comittee, more specifically the Promotional Comittee. I love marketing and I love Lebanon, OR so I am all about helping out in any way I can. It gives me an opportunity to perform a civic duty for my community and it helps me meet people and build relationships. So we have been thinking of events and plans to help build the economy and create a more inviting Historical Downtown area. So Our first planned event is on January 22nd at Santiam Place at 6pm. We will be serving chili and the local bankers and brokers are having a napkin dessert contest. Here is the flyer I created to help spread the word.
