Contaminated Water Found in Peachtree, NC - Get a Free Lawsuit Review

It is an environmental tragedy that befalls people all across the country: corporations pollute groundwater with harmful chemicals, leaving in their wake communities that can’t even drink from their own wells. This scenario is an all-too familiar one for many residents of Peachtree, NC who now know their groundwater is tainted by toxic industrial solvents.

Frightened residents near the small town of Peachtree in Cherokee County have been warned not to drink, shower or wash their clothes in the water from their wells. Recent groundwater testing in the area detected levels of an industrial solvent 30 times higher than what is considered the safe drinking water standard, reported the Asheville Citizen-Times.
