As someone who was born and raised in the SV, this is just something they trot out every once in a while to scare the newcomers. Almost no one is on well water and the chemicals are relatively low toxicity in most cases. You are probably getting harmed more by the smog in the air than any leakage from these sites. Yes, bad stuff was happening in the 70's environmentally. SV is NOT an isolated case.
