Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read this website and the Notice carefully.

The lawsuit addresses whether the City of Duluth failed to follow Minnesota law and its own City Code to properly calculate fees charged for stormwater service to owners of nonresidential properties. Plaintiffs allege the City of Duluth failed to charge or undercharged the required fees to certain nonresidential properties as required by City Code. Plaintiffs also allege the City of Duluth has unjustly and unfairly forced other owners of nonresidential property to pay the fees that should have been charged to the underpaying properties.

The Notice is being provided in advance of a trial. No judge or jury has concluded the Plaintiffs’ legal claims are correct or that the City of Duluth did anything wrong. For this reason, there is no money available now, and there is no guarantee there ever will be. If you are a class member, however, you have a choice to make now.
