Yeah, never buy a house near a military base, especially one active during WW2 or later. If you do, don’t consume groundwater.

The military’s approach to dealing with waste in that era was essentially “dump it over there” or “burn it with fire”. Airbases are particularlye bad as the crap they spray on the wings for de-icing and the firefighting foam. Is everywhere and often is nasty stuff.
