I prefer to comment on the sewer backup at my house and not involve the others.. Property owners may not want any information released one way or the other..

As for my property:

The courts have made it clear that the city is liable for sewer back-up damages if, and only if, the city’s negligence causes damages. There are four basic questions the courts look at in deciding this issue. The city is liable if, and only if, the answer to all four is yes.

1. Was there a defect in the city’s sewer line? This might be a tree root, a foreign substance such as grease or a diaper that has found its way into the line, a sag or break in the line, bad design of the line, etc.

2. Did the city know, or should the city have known about the defect? For example, were there previous complaints or reports of problems, should the problems have been discovered during routine inspection or maintenance of lines, etc.

3. Did the city fail to correct the defect within a reasonable time after learning of it?

4. Did that failure by the city cause damages?

I have evidence that proves beyond any doubt that the answer to all 4 questions is yes.. The City of Albert Lea is liable..

Absolutely awful.  I really hope the City steps up on this, but would not bet on it.

Further backing for you to use against the assessment for this project.  Did you absolutely no good, no benefit to your property.  What good does a new road and sidewalk do you when you have a basement full of the town's sewage?  

I hope you are able to quickly get things at least cleaned and sanitized.  And then, best of luck in dealing with the incompetence in City Hall.

The City reduced the amount of water being pumped from the Virginia Pl lift station that goes to Albert Lea Lake because of the high water levels of the lake.. At the same time they allow the Virginia Pl neighborhood to flood.. This is unacceptable..

I feel really bad for everyone experiencing any form of water damage during this time and hope their recovery goes smoothly..

It looked like it was darn near over the road on the north end where the proposed development is supposed to go.

And it also looked like train traffic was a no go through that area.

This video shows that the sewer backup of raw sewage into my home was caused by a plugged manhole that I said was full of solids and needed to be pumped 3 weeks earlier.. Its obvious that it never got pumped out..

Warning: Video is Very Nasty
