Ford is being sued by more than 130 homeowners living in the Alden Village neighborhood in Livonia.
It’s a longstanding dispute. The residents say that dangerous chemicals from the nearby transmission plant have gotten into the groundwater and soil. The state DEQ has also cited Ford at the site. The residents are unhappy with the state’s response.
The chemicals were used many years ago at the plant on Plymouth Road. The residents say the chemicals have collected in a huge underground plume.
