Groups seek to intervene in Jackson water lawsuit
SUMMARY: Community groups in Jackson, Mississippi are seeking to intervene in a federal lawsuit against the city regarding its water quality. They want to ensure that residents have a say in efforts to improve the city’s drinking water system. The groups are calling for transparency, including requests for the Environmental Protection Agency to provide water filters, hold public meetings, and order regular reports on the water system’s operations. The decision to allow community members to join the lawsuit is in the hands of Federal Judge Henry Wingate. Both the federal government and the city of Jackson reportedly do not oppose the intervention.
