Several Jackson apartment complexes are suing the local water utility, JXN Water, over high bills and potential shutoffs.

The property owners claim the bills are inaccurate and the rate structure is unconstitutional, while the utility says the complexes haven't paid in months.

One complex allegedly collected over $138,000 in water fees from tenants but did not pay its bill to the utility.

The property owners also argue JXN Water violates due process by not providing a formal way to dispute bills.

A hearing where U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate could decide whether several apartment complexes in Jackson will face water shutoffs for unpaid bills was expected to resume at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5, inside the Thad Cochran United States Courthouse.
