Veterans who lived in military housing at Camp Lejeune, N.C., between 1957 and 1987 should expect to receive a notification from the Navy Department about possible health repercussions related to contaminated drinking water. Pollutants from both on- and off-base sources that permeated Lejeune’s water supply may have caused some veterans or family members to contract any of several types of cancer, spina bifida, cleft lip, or cleft palate, according to a 2005 toxicity study conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services. Former service members who lived on Lejeune and believe they are now sick as a result of water-contamination exposure should contact the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans contacted by the Navy can visit two Web sites — http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/sites/lejeune/index.html, or www.marines.mil/clsurvey/index.html, for updates. More information is also available by calling (877) 261-9782 toll free, between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time, or by emailing clwater@usmc.mil. Veterans who served at Lejeune during those years should also register online for the Marine Corps’ official water study, at https://clnr.hqi.usmc.mil/.
