(KLZA)-- During the June 26th City Council meeting in Falls City, information was presented concerning water damage to property in the basement of the Grand Weaver Hotel.
Gayle and Linda Swisegood operated The Flower Cart in a portion of the building and property of the business, stored in the basement, was damaged.
The City contracted with RS Electric to bring a new electrical service to the hotel, utilizing the alley on the north side of the building. RS Electric had a sub-contact with Rieschick Drilling for part of the work.
The claim alleges a hole was left in the side of the building over the weekend, during which time more than an inch of rain fell. Runoff from the rain came out of the hotel parking lot and off of several adjacent buildings allowing thousands of gallons of water to run into the basement of the hotel, damaging property The Flower Cart had stored in the basement.
The Swisegood’s filed a damage claim with the city in an amount of nearly $5,400 which covered the damaged property and labor costs for the cleanup.
At the present time insurance companies representing the City of Falls City, the contractor RS Electric and sub-contractor Rieschick Drilling are attempting to determine which companies will pay and how much.
The Council tabled action on the claim. Meanwhile, debate between the insurance companies as to who will pay continues.
