SHREVEPORT, La. The city of Shreveport owes water and sewer customers more than $9.6 million, according to a ruling Wednesday in Caddo District Court.Â
The ruling by District Judge Michael Pitman is second monetary judgment assessed to the city in connection with a water billing class action lawsuit. Last month, the city issued refunds to customers totaling almost $6 million that represented one part of the lawsuit that disclosed the city s practice of rounding up water usage when determining the amount of monthly bills during the winter months.Â
This recent judgment deals with too many days of overcharges.Â
Over 100,000 families who are current and former water and sewer customers will benefit from the ruling, the Harper Law Firm said Thursday in a news release.
