Mountaire Farms has reached an agreement to settle one of two lawsuits involving water contamination at its Millsboro Plant.
The settlement includes over 100 people including several minors whose compensation will be kept in a trust.
WBOC reports that the settlement remains confidential.
The federal lawsuit filed by Joseph and Joan Balback claimed that the poultry company’s irrigation practices resulted in contaminated drinking water for those living in the area.
