PITTSBURGH – A wrongful termination suit from a man who claims he was fired from a water and sewer authority when he refused to dump raw sewage into the Monongahela River has settled litigation with the West Elizabeth Sanitary Authority and other entities.
Perry Payne first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 11 versus West Elizabeth Sanitary Authority and West Elizabeth Borough, Union Township of Finleyville and the Borough of Jefferson Hills.
“Plaintiff began working for WESA in June 2013. In September 2019, WESA was in the process of trying to get a new processing treatment plant online. Around this time, the old plant was still online and it developed a processing issue. Plaintiff did everything he could to address and correct this processing issue, but it continued until about mid-January 2020,” Payne said.
