Residents in Flint have just won a major victory in the Michigan Court of Claims.
Judge Mark Boonstra ruled the tainted water damaged the health of residents and hurt their property values.
The judge said the allegations "shock the conscience."
This means residents can now move forward seeking money damages.
One of the residents in the suit is Melissa Mays who told 7 Action News just a few weeks ago she still had high lead levels in her water based recent tests.
The water in flint is still not safe to drink for all residents.
