There’s growing pressure for families affected by the Williamtown contamination to be compensated.
Port Stephens MP, Kate Washington, wants the Defence Department to reimburse an elderly Salt Ash woman for the cost of having to replace her water tank, after her property tested positive for high levels of the chemical, P-FOS.
“For the Department of Defence not to offer any assistance apart from delivering bottles of water it’s completely obscene.”
Ms Washington says it’s just one example of how residents have been affected.
