Lawsuit Over Drinking Water in Camden

The six wells in the field were closed between the early 1970s and 1998, when the area was declared a Superfund site.
The wells are also the subject of a study planned by the state and federal governments. They intend to look at cancer and birth-defect rates for the areas of the city south and west of the Cooper River that were served by the wells.
Gerald Williams, a lawyer with one of the three firms working on the suit, said Camden residents have been joining it – but he declined to say how many.
