Supreme Court Rules Flint Residents Can Sue City and State Over Water
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld lower court decisions that would allow Flint residents to pursue legal cases against the City and State regulators related to the Flint Water Crisis. The Flint Water Crisis started in 2014 when the City switched water supplies and failed to use corrosion control that caused an outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease and lead contaminated water. With this decision, Flint residents can take steps to hold accountable government officials for the crisis.
