Residents told sewer‑insurance solicitations likely unnecessary; staff advises caution
Summary
A resident reported receiving mail urging sewer-line insurance; staff said they had not heard widespread need and suggested homeowners likely do not need a separate sewer policy for this project.
A resident said they had been receiving mailings encouraging homeowners to buy sewer‑line insurance and asked whether such a policy is necessary for the Derwent Avenue project. "I keep getting in the mail to take out insurance in the event that you have a problem with your sewer line to the street," the resident said.
A staff member replied, "I haven't heard anybody else getting that. I don't think there's gonna be an issue that you need that," advising residents the solicitation was not something the city recognized as a project requirement. The exchange did not constitute formal city guidance about insurance coverage; homeowners seeking advice about coverage options were advised to consult their insurers or licensed plumbers.
