A neighborhood association and a community advisory board have organized public meetings following the discovery of unsafe levels of fumes from polluted groundwater evaporating into homes and offices near Whisman Road.

This Sunday, March 3, the Wagon Wheel Neighborhood Association is hosting a meeting for residents concerned about recent findings of trichloroethylene (TCE) vapors in homes and buildings, including Google office buildings. The meeting is at the Middlefield Meadows clubhouse at 114 Flynn Ave. at 1:30 p.m.

"The EPA has sampled over 30 homes nearest the hot spot areas in the high priority areas and will share those results, answer your questions, as well as discuss next steps in the groundwater and air investigations," said the announcement posted on the association's website.

A week later the Moffett-MEW Community Advisory Board will have an open meeting at 7 p.m. on March 12 at City Hall's plaza conference room to discuss similar issues, including the notification of residents and occupants of office buildings about recent indoor air test results for offices and the availability of free indoor air testing by the EPA for residents in the area.
