Talk:Ottawa, Illinois

Notable residents?
Notable residents or notable former residents? I don't think that they all are Ottawa residents right now. 67.117.147.32 (talk) 06:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Radium in Ottawa's water
The radium in Ottawa's water did not come from Luminous Processes and Radium Dial. The pdf file given as a so-called reference for that scarcely mentions radium, scarcely mentions Ottawa, and doesn't mention the two together. Ottawa's water comes from wells more than 800 feet deep. There is no contamination from anything on the surface. The real radium contamination problem can be read about in documents available from the US EPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.135.167.130 (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
