Resident presses Wadsworth to reopen claim after repeated water‑main breaks
Summary
Resident Robert Craven told Council the city denied his 2024 property-damage claim and that his neighborhood has suffered multiple major water‑main breaks; he asked the city to reopen his claim and repair damaged yards. City staff asked the Cravens to remain after the meeting for follow-up.
Resident Robert Craven of 176 Dawna Drive addressed Council during the visitor portion to press the city to reopen a property‑damage claim. Craven said the city denied his claim for 2024 indoor property damage and that since then the neighborhood has experienced multiple breaks: he asserted four major breaks in 10 months and 10 in three years, and said "as of right them, every other yard was destroyed." He said outdoor repairs near those breaks (limestone, gravel, landscaping) had been performed for neighbors but not for his indoor damage and yard restoration.
Council thanked Craven for raising the issue and Service Director Matt Hiscock requested that the Cravens remain after the meeting so he and Assistant Director Jon Bellack could speak with them about the matter. The transcript records the resident’s request that the city reopen his claim and his assertion of negligence, but does not contain a formal city decision on reopening the claim; staff follow‑up was requested at the meeting.
