St. Charles Mayor Dan Borgmeyer announced a lawsuit against Ameren Missouri over contamination at the city's wellfields.

Borgmeyer said the city is working with local law firms Dowd Bennett LLP and Blitz, Bardgett, & Deutsch, L.C. to sue Ameren Missouri. Borgmeyer was joined in the press conference by former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, who is a partner at Dowd Bennett.

"The reason I'm here [today] is because I'm out of options," Borgmeyer said. "I've tried everything, we've done all could and we are to the point now where the governor and his law firm are going to take charge of this and make sure we follow the right path down the future."

Last month, the City of St. Charles announced the closure of City Well No. 7, meaning the city had shut down six of its seven wells due to traces of 1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride.

To combat a drinking water shortage, the city has been purchasing millions of gallons of water daily from the City of St. Louis instead of producing its own at a lower cost.
