Minnesota Readies Fight Against 3M In Water Pollution Trial [1]

Minnesota's $5 billion lawsuit against 3M for polluting natural resources is finally going to trial after yers of delay.

"When Keith Rapp gets a drink from his kitchen, it's quite a process.

The water comes in through a filter on the back of his refrigerator, then through another filter inside the fridge. From there, Rapp fills a Brita pitcher, then a water bottle with its own carbon filter in the cap.

"This will be the fourth filtration of this water," he said, taking a sip from the bottle. "That's how we do water here.""
