Camp Lejeune and Tainted Drinking Water

If you have lived or worked in 1987 or before at Camp Lejeune you need to register with the Marine Corps by visiting www.marines.mil/clsurvey or by calling the Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water Call Center at (877) 261-9782,

There were 2 unregulared solvents, trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), found in water systems serving the Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point areas. These solvents are the sames ones used in dry cleaning and may be toxic. It is being determined at this time if exposure to these chemicals can cause certain adverse health effects.

Today, the water at Camp Lejeune meets or exceeds all envrionmental standards
