California school district files lawsuit over contaminated drinking water
SL Environmental Law Group recently announced that its client, Ballico-Cressey School District in Ballico, California, has filed a lawsuit against Dow Chemical and Shell Oil, sellers of pesticides that contained the chemical 1,2,3 trichloropropane, known as “TCP.” The lawsuit claims that these products have contaminated a well that the district uses to supply drinking water at Cressey School, where special drinking fountains have been installed to remove TCP from the water so it is safe to drink.
