According to Newsday, the groundwater plume that originated in Bethpage has spread as far as Levittown. Officials have begun to treat drinking water wells as far as 4 miles away from the original source. They also have a plan set in place to install 31 additional monitoring devices by 2016 to learn more about the distance that the contamination has spread.
According to Lora Fly, the remedial project manager for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, they are hoping that the new monitoring wells will help them determine the extent of the contamination and find an end point.
