Class Action Lawsuit
Cambria County Homeowners vs Johnstown Redevelopment Authority, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and more than two dozen Cambria County municipalities
If you are a Cambria County Homeowner affected by recent sewer repair requirements enforced by the Johnstown Redevelopment Authority, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and more than two dozen Cambria County municipalities, sign up to join our class action lawsuit to fight for your rights.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP), the Johnstown Redevelopment Authority, and multiple municipalities throughout Cambria County, alleging that these entities participated in policies and enforcement practices that have imposed significant financial burdens on local property owners.
The lawsuit claims that property owners have been required to undergo sewer testing, inspections, and costly repairs or replacements, often at substantial personal expense, despite allegations that many of the underlying issues stem from broader public infrastructure deficiencies, including stormwater infiltration and aging sewer systems. It is further alleged that these requirements may be unreasonable, improperly enforced, or in violation of applicable laws, resulting in harm to residents who have been compelled to bear the cost of systemic issues beyond their control.
This legal action seeks justice and potential financial restitution for affected property owners and aims to hold responsible entities accountable for policies and practices that may have unfairly shifted the burden of public infrastructure problems onto private individuals.
