(WRN) -Foxconn wins a court ruling over its water supply.The City of Racine wants to divert millions of gallons of water from Lake Michigan to serve Foxconn's future factory complex in Mount Pleasant. State administrative law judge Brian Hayes ruled Monday that Racine's plans to sell water to the village is within the requirements of the Great Lakes Compact.
Environmental groups argued the diversion wasn't for "public water supply purposes," but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Hayes said the compact also allows for diversions for industrial and commercial users.
