WINFIELD Nearly 20 water contamination lawsuits now have been filed exclusively listing West Virginia American Water Company as the defendant.
H. Peyton

H. Peyton

.

Nitro attorney Harvey D. Peyton has filed 14 such cases in Putnam Circuit Court since Jan. 28, and Charleston attorneys J. Michael Ranson, G. Patrick Jacobs and Cynthia M. Ranson filed one Feb. 3 on behalf of Chareston resident Jason Brogan in Kanawha Circuit Court.

.

Those all came after Charleston attorneys Marvin Masters and Robert V. Berthold Jr. filed three complaints against WVAWC on Jan. 21 and 24 related to a Jan. 9 chemical leak.

.

WVAWCs intake facility along the Elk River is just more than a mile downstream from the Freedom Industries site where an estimated 10,000 gallons of crude MCHM leaked earlier this month. More than 300,000 residents in parts of nine counties were without tap water for days, and many still are wary of using the water.

.

Now, more than 50 complaints have been filed in various state and federal courts related to the chemical spill. Freedom Industries filed for bankruptcy Jan. 17.

.

Most of the complaints filed by Peyton were on behalf of individuals. Another was filed for the Town of Buffalo, another for Desimone Hospitality Services LLC dba Buffalo Diner and Desis, one for Maid In The USA Inc. dba Maid to Perfection of Charleston and another for Wellingtons.

.

In those complaints, they say WVAWC owed a duty to the plaintiffs to establish and maintain adequate and suitable facilities, safety appliances and other suitable devices with respect to its public service to furnish its customers water for domestic use which is pure, wholesome, potable and in no way dangerous to the health of the consumer, and to perform such service in a reasonable, safe and secure manner for the convenience of the public.

.

The plaintiffs claim WVAWC has failed to live up to its end of the deal since the Jan. 9 spill.

.

WVAWC sold and offered for sale to the plaintiffs potable water for drinking in its simple form by man which was adulterated in that such water contains a substance known as 4-methylcyclohexane methanol which is poisonous or injurious to the health of man and has been mixed with certain substances that depreciate or injuriously affect its quality and purity, the complaints state.

.

In one complaint for Bobby L. and Reba Tucker, it states that Bobby Tucker suffered considerable adverse health effects for which he was required to be hospitalized. They seek damages for those expenses as well.
