Chemicals Found In Oviedo Water Wells

OVIEDO, Fla.,None — Residents in one Oviedo neighborhood said they're concerned about their drinking water.

It comes after health officials found cancer causing chemicals in the neighborhood's water wells.

Tests found high levels of toxic chemicals inside the wells at 30 homes. The levels are almost 20 times the amount that's considered safe for consumption.

Health officials said the toxins are found in commercial solvents but they haven't tracked down the source of contamination.

Seminole County officials said it will add residents affected by the contamination to its water supply, but it will cost $300,000.
