"The Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case that could make or break rules requiring water suppliers to filter cancer-causing “forever chemicals” out of customers’ drinking water.

The fate of those rules hangs in the balance, after Minneapolis-based chemical giant 3M sued the state in hopes of overturning them.

The company wants to void the rules, arguing that state regulators missed a key procedural step when crafting them. The case comes to the Supreme Court after lower courts deemed the rules invalid but kept them in place pending the state’s appeal."
