Council approves $29,000 payment related to sewer backup remediation
Summary
Council approved payment of bills that included a roughly $29,000 reimbursement for a sewer-backup claim; staff described a storm event and reimbursements after insurance adjustments.
The Napoleon City Council approved payment of bills that included a roughly $29,000 payment related to a sewer backup claim after a winter storm event.
A councilmember asked about a $29,000 payment listed on page 3 of the bills. City staff said the incident occurred during a February storm; a residence on Jan’s Road had part of its house improperly connected to the sanitary sewer and the city’s main was plugged, which caused basement flooding with sanitary sewage. “We have been working with them for several months now,” the staff member said, noting the city reimbursed cleaning costs and paid the lowest repair quote after subtracting amounts covered by the homeowner’s insurance.
Council approved payment of bills by roll call. Staff said the total cost was slightly higher than the city’s reimbursement amount but did not provide the full total during the meeting excerpt.
