The Thompson family purchased a rural house and lot in the country. Next to their lot, Carlton Fuels Ltd. had operated a gas station for many years. The gas station had closed down 5 years earlier and the fuel tanks had been removed from the ground.

Two years before the Thompson family purchased their house and lot, the lot where Carton Fuels had been located was sold to a plumbing supply company that used the buildings and grounds to store plastic pipes and other non-hazardous supplies.

Some time after the purchase of their home, the Thompson’s began to notice a strange taste and odour in their drinking water. The water came from a well on their property. A test on the well indicated that the water was contaminated with gasoline.
