Attorneys acting for the Trinity Edwards Springs Protection Association issued a notice of intent to sue the Permian Highway Pipeline LLC and Kinder Morgan for allegedly contaminating an underground source of drinking water as a result of the pipeline’s construction operations in Blanco County on March 28.
TESPA and the Wimberley Valley Watershed Association are partnering under a memorandum of agreement to pursue legal action against the PHP and Kinder Morgan.
“All of us who depend on groundwater for our drinking water supply have been alarmed by the pipeline for almost two years now, but for this contamination incident to happen in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and affect the only water we have to drink and bathe in — it is unconscionable,” said Patrick Cox, TESPA executive director. “If there ever was a good time and reason to take legal action against a toxic polluter, it is now. And we have just the team to do it.”
