Case Summary

This is a case about the affordability of water and water shutoffs in Detroit, MI. On July 9, 2020, six individuals seeking to represent four classes and the nonprofit People’s Water Board Coalition filed this class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division. The classes they sought to represent include: current and future Detroit residents who reside in, or live in close proximity to, neighborhoods where disease has spread widely and has caused high rates of infection because of significant numbers of water shutoffs; current and future Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) customers who are or will be at risk of becoming physically ill because they lack water service or are “water insecure”; residential DWSD customers who, within the last two years, have had their water service disconnected by Detroit for non-payment without Detroit first determining whether they had the means to pay and willfully refused to do so; and all Black residents of Detroit who, within the last two years, have had their water service disconnected by Detroit for non-payment or are at risk of losing water service once the city resumes shutoffs. The plaintiffs sued the City of Detroit, the Governor of Michigan, the Mayor of Detroit, and the Director of DWSD under the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fair Housing Act (FHA), and state law. Represented by the ACLU of Michigan, the Michigan Poverty Law Program, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and private counsel, the plaintiffs sought declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. The plaintiffs also sought a permanent injunction prohibiting the defendants from engaging in the unconstitutional and/or discriminatory conduct and requiring the defendants to take all steps necessary to remedy the effect of such conduct and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Finally, the plaintiffs sought compensatory damages for their violations of the constitution, FHA, and state law for injuries including monetary loss, humiliation, embarrassment, emotional distress, and depravation of rights. The plaintiffs sought punitive damages for the FHA violation for the City of Detroit’s disregard for the plaintiff’s rights and to deter the City from engaging in similar conduct in the future.

Plaintiffs claimed that the defendants shut off water as a collection method even though many households subject to termination cannot afford to pay market rates for water service. The lack of water service in many residents’ homes was humiliating to residents because of the City's practice of marking customers’ homes with bright blue paint when their water service was or was about to be disconnected, leading to the stigmatization of residents. According to plaintiffs, defendants established or used ineffective water assistance programs, which ensured a chronic lack of access to water to low income families. Defendants started the Water Restart Plan due to Covid, effectively admitting the correlation between the lack of water service and the spread of disease. The Governor did not ensure compliance. Defendants planned to resume the use of water shutoffs as a collection method after the coronavirus crisis had passed. It did not further any government interest to collect unpaid water debt by disconnecting the water service of predominately Black residential customers who did not have the means to pay because they were indigent, particularly as the disconnection of water service would result in increased risk of infection from COVID-19 and other diseases. Plaintiffs also alleged that the worsening of the pandemic would cause the City to suffer from increased hospitalizations and decrease in tax revenue. The case was assigned to District Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis, but reassigned to District Judge Linda V. Parker on September 14, 2020. One week later the case was reassigned again to District Judge Denise Page Hood.

On August 6, 2020 the Governor moved to dismiss. She alleged Eleventh Amendment immunity, that there was no constitutional right to water service or protection of the public, and that there was no state-created danger. The other defendants also filed a motion to dismiss on August 27, 2020. They argued there was no due process claim as the plaintiffs lacked standing, didn’t allege conscience shocking behavior, and the right to bodily integrity did not encompass the right to be free of disease from a lack of water. The defendants also discredited the equal protection claim as a fundamental liberty interest was not being deprived and the City's policy was rationally related to a legitimate public purpose. As for the FHA and state law claims, defendants argued they were outside the scope of the statutes and the FHA claim fell short of disparate impact, which the plaintiffs also failed to state. In February of 2021 Judge Hood held a motion hearing.

The plaintiffs moved to compel mediation on February 7, 2022, which was denied October 4, 2022.

On December 12, 2022, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the defendants from terminating water service for purposes of debt collection or otherwise as a response to non-payment of water bills. As of December 29, 2022, the case is ongoing.
