June 28, 2008 - NEW BEDFORD — A couple living in a house north of the contaminated Keith Middle School and New Bedford High School grounds have filed a lawsuit in Bristol County Superior Court seeking to have the city purchase their house and pay for what they believe are medical conditions and problems brought on by pollution.
The house is not one of the five houses the city has announced it intends to buy because of serious pollution from the former "burn dump" where companies disposed of and incinerated hazardous chemicals and waste for decades until the 1950s or 1960s. The houses the city plans to buy are located south of the schools on Greenwood and Ruggles streets, just off Hathaway Boulevard.
