An Albany family says the city should have told them the property they bought was part of an old landfill. Darrel and Bobbi Jo Johnson have sued the city of Albany for alleged negligence after discovering their land and water could be affected by contamination from the former dump, according to court documents. The lawsuit alleges when the property changed hands from the city to a private owner in 1978, the city failed to sufficiently disclose the existence of the old dump and the disposal of hazardous chemicals at the site.
