A recent oil pipeline leak in Upper Makefield Township has left residents with contaminated water wells, raising serious concerns about health, safety, and property values. At Cordisco & Saile LLC, we are committed to protecting our neighbors and ensuring the responsible parties are held accountable.

What Happened?

A 14-inch fuel pipeline owned by Energy Transfer leaked in the Mount Eyre neighborhood, tainting at least six residential water wells. Jet fuel was detected in the wells, and four of them exceeded the contaminant levels deemed safe for drinking water. Residents have expressed concerns about unusual odors in their water and have demanded independent testing to fully assess the extent of the contamination.
