Got an additional $1,200 from FEMA for damages which brought my total recovery of just shy of $10,000.. All my needs were met.. 
I now have a backwater/check valve installed on my sewer line to prevent any backup in the future..
FYI

^^ I'm glad you had your needs met, seems a shame that you had to put up with such bullsh!t and ineptitude. You stood tough through the whole ordeal.

Glad to hear you recouped some of your costs. Unfortunately it will never come close to compensating you for all your time and the stress that such events cause.
From my own experience, even with your check valve now in place, you will still get a pit in your stomach every time it rains, for some time to come.
Only other thing that would be nice is if the City, and its professional staff, would admit to the issues that their shortsightedness caused in your situation.

AL - how did the road hold up through the first winter?
Any movement by the City on the other improvements downstream?

Street looks good.. Will get another 2 inches of asphalt this year.. The bad sewer line replacement will be put off for at least 15 years since 6th St was resurfaced last year..
The bad manhole is checked on a regular basis and also pumped..
And my property tax went up $1,000 this year..

AL - how are things holding up with the rains? Are they still checking on that manhole?
Hope things are staying dry for you.
