More families file claims against Navy as attorneys plan for class-action lawsuit

In another step toward a possible class-action lawsuit, more military and civilian families are filing claims against the Navy over the tainted water crisis.

Elisapeta Alaimaleata is an American Samoan nonprofit leader and lives in Halsey Terrace military housing. She says she’s had hair loss, rashes and dizziness from the fuel-tainted and smelly water.

“Being out of the shower, we feel like we are high. We feel like we are dizzy,” said Alaimaleata.

She says her husband, who retired from the Army, also had lesions and was bleeding onto their bed.
