Residents Reach Out to Monroe County Commission to Solve Uranium Problem

Written by Ashley Minelli on . Posted in Local

Tonight, Monroe County Commissioners heard from several agencies and concerned residents about the high levels of uranium found in deep water wells.

There's one goal in sight for Monroe County resident Donna Welch.

"Get public water out to places that have high concentration of numbers."

Welch is talking about the heavy metal uranium in her drinking water. After years of an unexplained case of peripheral neuropathy, Welch began to look for answers.

"Because of the health issues, it really peaked my curiosity and I wanted to see if there is a link."

There's not much research on the effects of the chemical.
