MYRTLE BEACH, SC — Passive components manufacturer AVX will stand trial this week over allegedly polluting local water supplies.

A pair of real estate developers claim contamination from AVX killed a planned condominium project. AVX asserts some of the contamination could be from a now-defunct Air Force base.

The trial is scheduled to start today. A previous lawsuit was settled a few days after the hearings began.
