• Judge: Lawsuit over disputed Billings water bills can proceed (ktvq.com) — A Yellowstone County judge has ruled that a lawsuit over allegedly inflated Billings water bills can move forward, rejecting the city's attempt to dismiss the case. The suit, brought by Billings residents after a 2024 billing system change, claims thousands were overcharged and seeks class-action status. An independent audit found current bills accurate but flagged staffing and conversion problems, leaving key questions for the court to resolve.
