Description
DOD and EPA have found chemicals in drinking water at or near military installations that may cause cancer and other health issues. Some of these chemicals can be found in firefighting foam and rocket propellants. DOD has taken steps to limit individuals' exposure to some chemicals, including providing alternative drinking water supplies and installing water treatment systems. Still, DOD's incomplete internal reporting limits its ability to monitor installation compliance with safe drinking water regulations. This report makes 5 recommendations to improve DOD's data, reporting, and oversight of drinking water regulations.
