HARRISBURG – Earlier this month, PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced that Sunoco Pipeline L.P., and ETC Northeast Pipeline LLC, both subsidiaries of Energy Transfer, were convicted of criminal charges related to their conduct during the construction of two major pipelines in PA. As part of their agreement, Energy Transfer will pay for independent evaluations of water quality impacts for homeowners impacted by the construction of the Mariner East 2 Pipeline and in some cases, offer approved mechanisms for restoring or replacing the impacted private water supplies. The final deadline for residents to reach out to the Office of Attorney General to apply for a free water test for their home is Friday, August 19. Any interested party should reach out at watertesting@attorneygeneral.gov. So far, over 150 PA residents have contacted the Attorney General’s office for water tests. An independent, professional geologist will review water testing and advise on water quality and impact.
