It also flowed down-creek to Lake Crabtree Lake, which is on the border between Morrisville and Cary. I haven't seen how the cleanup of that area has been progressing - hopefully, good progress has been made.
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.
We live right around the corner from the former electronics company that caused the problem, so had our water tested. Apart from a few extra minerals, it came up clean.
Same here. We had the water tested and it came up clean as well.
