Law Firm To Host Town Meeting On Local Water Contamination

A Montgomery County law firm will be hosting a town meeting for Horsham, Warminster and Warrington residents on the local water contamination issue on Wednesday night.

Attorney Joseph Feliciani, of Norristown's Creedon & Feliciani law firm, will head up the meeting, and will be joined by guest speaker State Rep. Todd Stephens.

The meeting will take place at Williamson’s Banquet Hall on 500 Blair Mill Road in Horsham from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. A question-and-answer session for area residents will follow remarks by Stephens and Feliciani.

Feliciani represents numerous residents who have either filed or may file complaints asserting serious personal injury as a result of drinking, use, and exposure to highly toxic water from wells in the Horsham and Warminster area.

The chemicals found on the Naval Air Station Willow Grove were perfluorinated compounds, including perfluorooctane sulfonoate (PFOS) and perfluoroctanoic acid (PFOA). It is believed many of the chemicals originally came from firefighting training on the base property.
