A chief judge for the 7th Circuit Court of Michigan has approved a class action lawsuit against the city of Flint over water rates that were allegedly raised illegally. Genesee Circuit Judge Archie Hayman approved the class action status on Monday, stating that the city's "water and sewer customers since September 2011 have all been subject to a water readiness-to-serve charge that was improper and an illegal 35 percent increase in water and sewer rates." According to city officials, Flint residents pay some of the highest rates in the state.
