‘Tough pill to swallow’: Lawsuit says Water Valley residents may have been poisoned for more than 50 years
SUMMARY: A lawsuit claims Water Valley residents were poisoned for over 50 years due to illegal disposal of trichlorethylene (TCE) by Holley Automotive Division, later known as Coltec, owned by EnPro Industries. This led to a “cancer cluster” with a higher incidence of cancer and other health issues. TCE, known for its toxicity since the 1950s, was used in the facility and improperly discarded, contaminating water and soil. Employees were exposed without protective gear, and waste was dumped recklessly. The suit seeks justice for hundreds of victims, and more cases are expected as the investigation continues. EnPro did not comment.
