Administrator Achen said it has been a long time since Well House #2
was constructed and it may be tenuous to pursue a lawsuit for damages
based upon the original contract.
Engineer Comstock said there may be some reason to believe that the
break in the floor that occurred a few years ago might be a cause
in this incident. He said John Bearden has been checking into this.
Mayor Johnson instructed Administrator Achen to check and explore
if there can be a claim made against the contractor that laid the
original pipe for the well house.
