High Pediatric Cancer, Poor Water & Air Quality
Star Rating - 11/12/2019
I have been here since 2013 and have watched child after child be diagnosed with Cancer. Many of the children have been diagnosed with "rare" Cancers. It has been devastating and I am actively trying to move out of the area. The water quality is horrible, the air quality is as well. If you dig a little you will see how unhealthy the air and water here is. The school district allows cell towers right outside the school buildings and refuse to remove them even though the towers emissions are being investigated as a cause of Leukemia. I guess it's no wonder, kids are being diagnosed with Cancer at an alarming rate. If you live here or decide to move here , treat your water right away! There is a very large Mormon population and they are blatantly terrible to anyone who is not of their religion. Kids aren't excluded in this issue. It's a beautiful place from the outside but once you scratch the surface you realize pretty quickly it's not a good place to raise kids.

Hi could you please elaborate on this ? Is it higher pediatric cancers compared to other cities? I was considering relocating my family including 3 small children, so obviously high pediatric cancer would be a huge deterrent for us. Thank you in advance.

Can you please tell us where you are getting this information. We are planning to move to Meridian/Eagle with small children and I am alarmed at the poor water quality. I have not found any sign of a cancer cluster in this area(researched on ACS).
