Resident seeks reimbursement after alleged sewer damage, council asks for proof
Summary
Frances Gonzolez reported sewage in her backyard and damage to her home and asked the council to reimburse costs for a plumber and chemicals. Mayor DeVere said Frances must provide plumber documentation showing where the damage is for consideration at a future meeting.
Frances Gonzolez (313 Grant Street) contacted the town via the website asking the council to reimburse the cost of a plumber to inspect her sewer line and the cost of chemicals she used since last July.
According to the minutes, Frances "described the hardships she has endured including having a port‑a‑potty in front of her house for months, damage to her home and raw sewage in her backyard." Mayor DeVere told the council Frances would need to provide proof from the plumber identifying where the damage to the sewer line is and submit that documentation for review at an upcoming meeting.
The minutes do not show any immediate financial action or a staff assignment to investigate; no timelines or claim amounts were recorded.
