Homeowners’ Suit of Reno Over Flooding Now in U.S. Court
March 11, 2021
Dozens of residents who are suing the city of Reno over the flooding of their homes in 2017 are moving to federal court in a complex case that could cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
The move comes as the city’s related appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court is pending, the Reno Gazette Journal reports.
Lemmon Valley residents who filed a class-action suit won a jury verdict in Washoe County District Court in 2019 that determined Reno was responsible for the dramatic flooding that left their homes north of town under water for years.
