I don't serve the Lebanon Oregon area, but that county does lie next to Marion county. I wanted to get the word out about well contamination that has been occurring in that area.

The chemicals tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylele (TCE) are in the groundwater in some parts of Lebanon. This is not an issue for people that use city water.

So...if you are looking to move into Lebanon Oregon and plan to purchase a home that has a well, you need to check the well for these chemical solvents. 

Oregon law requires that wells be tested for nitrates and coliform during a real estate transaction, but it can test "clean" for these and still have the chemicals in it.

So...buyers if you have any questions about PCE or TCE, you can call the DEQ at 1-800-844-8467 X 7349 for more information.
