MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) - A judge has ordered the owner of a northern Idaho mobile home park in Moscow to allow access to the park’s water systems for independent testing.
The Lewiston Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1mw03xE) that 2nd District Judge John R. Stegner late last week issued the order as part of a preliminary injunction.
The injunction requires park owner Magar E. Magar to maintain the park’s residential water and wastewater treatment systems in compliance with state law during a pending lawsuit.
About 150 residents are pursuing a class-action lawsuit against Magar, contending lack of maintenance has made the mobile home park unsafe.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in February filed a lawsuit against Magar contending the mobile home park is violating wastewater and drinking water requirements.
That lawsuit is pending.
