Massive CHS leak drove unplanned costs; district awaiting insurance determination
Summary
Superintendent described a major leak at the high school that caused flooding and erosion; early invoices include $33,000 for stair repairs, $7,300 for sump pump replacement and a negotiated $23,000 city water charge, with insurance coverage pending.
The superintendent reported a major leak at Coquille High School that produced widespread flooding and damage. District staff are collecting bids and documentation for the insurance claim; the superintendent said immediate bills received so far include a $33,000 bid to repair eroded stairs and railing, a $7,300 cost to replace sump pumps, and a negotiated city water charge of about $23,000 (described as roughly five years’ typical water use). The district is awaiting the full audit print copies and insurance estimates to determine its final out‑of‑pocket cost.
The superintendent thanked Tri County Plumbing and local responders for rapid on‑site response and said the district will know its portion of costs once the insurer responds. Board members did not take an immediate fiscal action during the meeting; administrators said they will provide updates as bids and insurance responses arrive.
