City of Stuart suing manufacturers of fire suppression foam said chemicals in the product contaminated water

The City of Stuart is now suing several major companies it said contaminated the city’s drinking water for decades, giving people who live and work there no warning. The lawsuit claims the companies, which manufacture fire suppression foam, knew there were chemicals in their products that could harm the environment and threaten public health. The lawsuit says the companies delayed notifying the consumers they sold the product to, including firefighters in Stuart.
