Lowry AFB property-value lawsuit settled (CO)
Rocky Mountain News (CO) provides this brief report:
Residents of an area near Lowry Air Force base who alleged that their groundwater was polluted have settled their lawsuit against the United States government.Hard to tell if the $100,000 is per plaintiff (which we imagine it may be), but we'll let you know if we learn any more.
The 24 plaintiffs on Monday agreed to a settlement of $100,000 after years of litigation.
They had sued because they said the value of their property was lowered by pollution from the base. They blamed the base, which closed in 1994, for the trichloroethylene chemical that seeped into their groundwater. The chemical was used to clean airplane engines at the base.
