Westfield City Council opposes lithium battery facility near water supply, citing risks.

The Westfield City Council opposes a lithium battery storage facility proposed by Jupiter Power of Texas, which would be placed over the city's drinking water supply. The facility, exempt from local zoning rules by state regulators, concerns council members due to potential environmental risks and lack of transparency in the approval process. They argue the risks, including fire hazards and water contamination, outweigh any benefits.
