An underground pipe beneath an Exxon gas station burst in 2006, resulting in 26,000 gallons of gasoline escaping and possibly contaminating the local water supply. Now, Exxon Mobil Corporation has been ordered to pay more than $1.5 billion in damages to 160 families and businesses caught up in the incident, which happened 20 miles north of Baltimore, in Jacksonville.
