Street wins favorable verdict in Modesto suit

摘要

After hearing evidence for five months and deliberating for weeks, a jury issued a second verdict of no liability in favor of Naperville, Ill.-based R.R. Street & Co. last month, effectively putting an end to a more than decade-long contamination-cleanup case.rnThe suit was filed in 1998 by the City of Modesto, Calif., and sought more than $162 million in damages and costs from multiple defendants in connection with perchloroethylene contamination in the city's drinking water.
