What Happened at Camp Lejeune?

For over 30 years, service members who were stationed at Camp Lejeune and their families were exposed to dangerous and toxic drinking water. The base had a total of eight water treatment plants to supply drinking water to both residents and employees working on the base. Two of these treatment plants had serious issues that led to water contamination.

Why Did the Situation Go on for So Long?

The government simply did not know about the problem for decades. It did not test the water, and it was completely ignorant of the dangers to which it was exposing its vital service members. What makes the situation even more appalling is that the government knowingly exposed service members and their families for years after first learning that there was a potential problem.

Did the Government Immediately Tell Families of the Dangers They Faced?

No, and that is what makes this situation even more unjust. Even after learning of the contamination and shuttering the wastewater treatment plants, the government still did not tell people who were exposed to the toxic water about the situation. Affected service members and their families did not learn of the problems for the first time until the late 1990s.
