LM Insurance Corporation v. City of Sycamore

Appeal involving an insurance coverage dispute arising out of claims that the defendant had failed to properly maintain city water mains in a manner that resulted in unsafe drinking water. The plaintiff, insurance company, filed a declaratory judgment action and the circuit court granted judgment on the pleadings to the plaintiff. Defendant appealed. The appellate court reversed and remanded, finding that the trial court improperly concluded that a lead pollution provision in the insurance policy excluded coverage because the complaint also alleged damages related to iron, lead, and bacterial pollution. (JORGENSEN and KENNEDY, concurring)
