杰克逊水务以20万美元和解花苑公寓欠费案 受偿顺位仍待法院裁决
密西西比州欣兹县杰克逊市消息：杰克逊水务公司11月5日与花苑公寓达成和解，同意以20万美元了结一笔拖欠水费诉讼，金额远低于最初追讨的约42.3万美元。联邦地区法院法官亨利·温盖特当天在杰克逊市批准了这项和解。
花苑公寓位于伍德拜恩街，占地26.5英亩、共56个单元，由托尼·利特尔管理；该公寓欠费累积至约41.9万美元，2025年被断水后住户被迫撤离，公寓随后废弃。10月23日，公寓8栋楼中的一栋发生大火被完全烧毁，可能影响整处房产的出售价值。
房产的抵押权人信赖银行与杰克逊水务就未结款项的优先受偿权仍有争议，双方同意由法院在出售所得分配前裁决；法院指定的接管人德里克·亨德森负责监督清算。法官在命令中明确，和解并不决定杰克逊水务判决的优先顺序，各方保留对公寓留置权的全部主张与权利。
JXN Water Settles Blossom Apartments Case for $200,000; Lien Priority Still Undecided
JACKSON, Miss. — JXN Water has agreed to settle its unpaid-water-bill case against Blossom Apartments for $200,000, far below the roughly $423,000 it originally pursued. U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate approved the compromise in federal court in Jackson on November 5.
The 56-unit complex on Woodbine Street covers 26.5 acres and was managed by Tony Little. Its unpaid balance had ballooned to about $418,974 by August 2025; after water service was cut in 2025, residents were forced out and the complex was abandoned. On October 23, a fire completely engulfed one of its eight buildings, which could reduce the proceeds of a sale.
The property's mortgage holder, Relyance Bank, and JXN Water still dispute who has priority for unsettled payments; both agreed the court will resolve the dispute before contested funds are dispersed, and court-appointed receiver Derek Henderson is overseeing the liquidation. The judge's order states the settlement is not a determination of the priority of the JXN Water judgment, and all parties reserve their claims and rights regarding liens against the apartments.
