TUCSON -The city of Tucson will be filing a lawsuit against 3M.
Several Tucson wells had to be shut down last year because of those contaminants.
Now dozens of communities are stepping forward and suing 3M for water contamination.
What Davis-Monthan told us they were doing is simply hosing it into the soil and dumping it down the sewer system," Steve Kozachik, Tucson councilman said.
"3M has known for decades that the PFO’s substance they are producing is toxic.
"We’ve got to make sure it gets cleaned up and cleaned up properly and we’ve got to be able to leverage our resources too.
There is I think right now there is already 15-19 cities involved.
Just this past month the Marana Town Council approved an estimated $11 million water treatment system for its contaminated water.
"3M not only owes us for the fix but they also owe us for the loss of capacity.
3M acted responsibly in connection with products containing PFA’S and will vigorously defend its environmental stewardship.” The City of Tucson shut down their contaminated wells last year.
