This letter follows up our most recent telephone conversation of February 24, <br /> • 1998. <br /> I have concluded my investigation into the water main break occurring on Feburary 10. The <br /> main involved is a 6" cast iron pipe. When the pipe was exposed it was determined to be a shear <br /> or circumference fracture and the pipe was in good condition, therefore, the repair was made. We <br /> believe the cause of the fracture was due to earth movement during the freeze/thaw temperature <br /> conditions. There is not any history of problems on this water main. There is no way for the <br /> city to foresee that a water main break will occur. <br /> I fail to find any evidence of negligence on the part of the city of Mounds View as a result of this <br /> occurrence but rather an Act of God. Therefore, I must respectfully decline to make any offer of <br /> settlement to you for the damages you sustained. <br /> Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 215-4077. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Darlene Boese <br /> Adjuster <br /> • <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
