Family of Lake Jackson boy killed by brain-eating amoeba in water supply files lawsuit
HOUSTON โ The family of a Lake Jackson boy killed by a brain-eating amoeba in the water supply has filed a lawsuit. The city of Lake Jackson and the Brazosport Water Authority are being sued for more than $1M. Langley said a deadly brain-eating amoeba was able to grow in the cityโs water supply because tests discovered there wasnโt enough chlorine. โIf the water supply was tested and tested frequently this could have been detected and could have been prevented,โ he added. The Center for Disease Control was also called in to test the water supply.
