Here are two more news stories about the Wareham family dealing with a fuel oil spill:
- How an oil leak may cost Massachusetts couple their recently-purchased home - WCVB 5
- Homeowners face a fortune in cleanup bills after oil tank leak - Boston 25 News
Any homeowner in Massachusetts who has faced this situation, without insurance coverage, knows how challenging it is. Hopefully this media coverage is raising awareness and more homeowners will buy fuel oil insurance riders. We hope that state legislators will also be motivated to pass Senate Bill No. 676, An Act relative to the remediation of home heating oil releases, which would require that all Massachusetts homeowner insurance policies provide coverage for the cleanup of accidental releases of home heating oil. Please contact your state senator and representative to ask for their support.
