The Bucks County Commissioners and the District Attorney have filed a joint lawsuit against several manufacturers of dangerous PFAS that have contaminated water and soil in Bucks County.
Filed Tuesday in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, the suit seeks civil fines, penalties and restoration under Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, as well as damages for the investigation, remediation, removal, disposal, treatment and monitoring of ongoing PFAS contamination in the surface water, groundwater, soil, sediment and other natural resources within the county.
While the Commissioners and District Attorney have brought separate causes of action, they have coordinated their efforts in a single filing to best hold the defendants accountable.
