The city of Flint appears to have prevailed in a court fight over disconnecting delinquent water customers.
Last August, Genesee County Circuit Court Judge Archie Hayman ordered a halt to water shutoffs until the city of Flint rolled back a 2011 rate hike. The judge ruled that the 35% rate increase was done illegally.
The city started sending out bills reflecting the court-ordered lower rate in September. The lower rates have cost the city roughly $3.4 million.
