Lead Water Lawsuit
Summary
A federal appeals court upheld the dismissal of Jackson residents’ lawsuit over lead in the city’s water, so the case won’t move forward and residents won’t get a court ruling on accountability. If you drink Jackson water, this means water quality is still a live civic fight, not a settled legal matter.
