As mentioned before, this pollution (the Ward Transformer superfund site adjacent to RDU) didn't reach the water source of any municipality in the Triangle. There might still be caution signs about eating fish from Crabtree Creek. That had more to do with PCBs that had gone into the creek banks and creek bed. Those downstream soils were not directly included in the site clean-up, but I remember reading that years of PCB-free flowing water has reduced the PCB level in the creek soils.

Same here. We had the water tested and it came up clean as well.
