Supreme Court Upholds Gratiot County Water Contract
The Supreme Court affirms the Gratiot County water contract ruling, holding the city of Alma validly continued to use the well drilling project. It confirms the contract required the contractor to furnish machinery, complete wells, and guarantee a minimum flow, while the city must arrange pumping facilities for a final test. The court finds the defendant failed to fully cooperate in testing and delivering the guaranteed water, upholding the city’s possession of the drilling equipment pending full performance.
