Resident seeks reimbursement after sewer problems, council asks for plumber documentation
Summary
Frances Gonzolez told the council she had ongoing sewer problems, including a port-a-potty outside her home and "raw sewage in her backyard," and asked for reimbursement for plumber costs; Mayor DeVere said the council needs plumbing proof locating the damage before acting.
Frances Gonzolez of 313 Grant Street submitted a message to the town website asking the council to reimburse her for the cost of a plumber and for chemicals she has purchased since last July. She described hardships including having "a port-a-potty in front of her house for months" and "raw sewage in her backyard," and asked the council to consider reimbursement.
Mayor DeVere responded that the council requires documentation from a plumber showing precisely where the damage to the sewer line occurred before the council can consider a reimbursement request at a future meeting. The council did not vote or direct staff to allocate funds at this session; the matter remains pending until Gonzolez provides the requested evidence.
