Expert Testimony for Metropolitan District
A metropolitan district in Summit County, Colorado was involved in a civil lawsuit focusing on whether historical alterations to the water treatment facility to mitigate high reported levels of fluoride were to be considered as “improvements” or “repairs.”
Martin and Wood provided hydrogeologic consulting and expert witness services pertaining to the limited fluoride data that were available, and specifically, carried out analyses incorporating assessments of the local hydrogeologic conditions, field observations, the nature and occurrence of fluoride in groundwater, and review of the water plant upgrades and operations. During the trial in Summit County District Court, Martin and Wood provided expert testimony that refuted the opponent's claim.
