(Houston, TX) — The Harris County Flood Control District is being sued by residents whose homes near the Barker and Addicks reservoirs were flooded during Harvey.
The suit represents 350 Harris County homeowners and demands at least 500-million-dollars after controlled releases from the reservoirs damaged or ruined their homes.
The same law firm says its plans to sue on behalf of another 350 plaintiffs next week for another 500-million. Dozens of similar lawsuits against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are in federal court as well.
