Brief Location Profile:

The Montgomery Pump Station in Ann Arbor closed in 1985 due to 1,4-dioxane contamination. This closure occurred after traces of 1,4-dioxane, a potentially carcinogenic chemical, were discovered in the groundwater near the station. The contamination originated from Gelman Sciences, a nearby manufacturing facility that used 1,4-dioxane in its operations. The closure aimed to prevent further contamination of the groundwater and protect public health.
