Jackson, Mississippi, residents file lawsuit over water crisis
Fox News
Mississippi residents filed a federal class action lawsuit over the contamination and failure of the Jackson water system, seeking injunctive relief and damages.
The residents are seeking injunctive relief — including the removal and remediation of lead pipes and fixtures, an adequate water supply delivered each home until the water supply is safe for consumption and an injunction entered to stop all Jackson residents from paying for the contaminated water — and compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages against the defendants over what they said is neglect, mismanagement and maintenance failure that left more than 150,000 Jackson-area residents without access to safe running water.
The complaint was filed with the Southern District of Mississippi.
