What about the Army Depot next door?
I find it interesting they don't look into the large septics that the city's produce sewage next to rivers
That was an excellent report. I'm glad you headed to eastern Oregon to let us know what they are dealing with. They deserve help with this problem.
It is what they created!
Two words: Reverse Osmosis. Learn it and test it regularly? Unfortunately so many people are oblivious of water quality and think if it tastes good it's okay.

27% Nitrate is High AF
I'd wager that most of these people are Republican types who want the EPA abolished. That agency and all the others that protect or help people, such as Education, Social Security, Consumer Product Safety. Eastern Oregon wants to join Idaho and eastern Washington (as the 51st state) in the race to the bottom for its citizens' physical and financial health that all red states are running.
All people deserve safe drinking water 💧
Well the comments from both conservative and liberal camps aren’t very helpful as most of them don’t apply in this situation if you watched the video. This is being handled (not successfully), on a state level, so however these residents are voting 10:38 locally isn’t the issue.
However, conservatives should keep in mind that deregulation, and even eliminating the EPA is currently on the agenda of republicans in Congress, and ask themselves if they really think that’s in their best interest.
10:38
Seems obvious that as long as fertilizers are applied to crops, ground water concentrations will continue to rise. The residents need adequate water purifying systems provided for them, or an alternative source of water. What a terrible situation, and I’m sure there’s much more to this story.

Regenative farming. Check your soil web?
❤Makes me thankful for the Bull Run❤
All those years of fertilizing and animal production what did you expect? You were warned years ago…we tried to tell you! Thanks for your greed and blowing the rest of us off!
I thought they left Oregon. Get Idaho to fix and pay for it.
Pretty sure I already know the answer without having to ask the question, but I'll ask anyway:
Did you ever consider the fact that your attitude is part of the reason why some (certainly not all) Eastern Oregonians felt disenfranchised enough to support the Greater Idaho Movement (henceforth, GIM) in the first place?
GIM doesn't even have unanimous support in Eastern (& Southern) Oregon as it stands. In one of the counties here (Morrow) the "yes"/"no" differential was around 800 votes. That's not exactly unanimous. Umatilla hasn't even put a GIM measure on a ballot yet. But you're telling people to suffer the consequences (which may include cancer, leading to death) of polluted water because of a measure that amounts to a symbolic gesture?
I think your attitude is sick, and it's the type of attitude that furthers division amongst Oregonians. We need understanding of our differences and reconciliation, not more division.
PS- here's a link where you can find the actual raw numbers in all the counties that have voted on GIM thus far: ballotpedia.org/Greater_Idaho,_Oregon,_countywide_ballot_measures_(2020-2024).
Stop delivering food to Portland. That will fix it.
Nobody wants your cancer food. You reap what you sow now live with it. You’ll get no sympathy here. Maybe you’re good buddies in Idaho can help you but I doubt it
It's time to give Eastern Oregon to Idaho....
East OR Ag. Biz is the worst!!!
Each home should consider getting a distillation machine.
