FLINT, Mich. (AP) – A judge has ordered Flint to stop cutting off water to people with unpaid bills.

Judge Archie Hayman also ordered the city to stop collecting a special fee to replenish the water fund. And WEYI-TV reports that he also lowered rates Friday.

Flint attorney Pete Bade says an appeal will be filed immediately. He says the decision by the Genesee County judge will have a “devastating financial impact” on the city.
