Court Denies Water District's Bid to Dismiss Lawsuit After Finding Pleadings Insufficient

摘要

A federal court in Louisiana denied a water district's motion to dismiss an environmental group's lawsuit alleging violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act, saying the g^roup has "sufficiently pleaded continuing violations" (Restore v. Beauregard Water Works District No. 3, W.D. La., No. 2:12CV2602, 2/1/13). The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ruled Feb. 1 that it has jurisdiction to hear the complaint from a group, identified only as Restore, which alleged that Beauregard Water Works District No. 3 violated the act and continues to do so.
