Portsmouth City Council Accepts Settlement Funds
Portsmouth City Council voted to accept settlement funds from PFAS Litigation to go towards the city’s Waterworks Capital Improvement Fund.
The funds come after the state of Ohio filed a suit against DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva in November of 2023 to resolve claims over PFAS contamination, also known as forever chemicals.
The Council’s Vice President, Lyvette Barnes-Mosley, voted to waive the remaining hearing and to accept the payout of over $780,000. This money will go towards repairs and improvements within the city’s water system.
