MEDIA – The Borough of Brookhaven has disavowed liability for more than $15,000 damages suffered by a local couple, when an alleged negligently installed backflow valve directed storm water into the plaintiffs’ basement.
Jason Bush and Margie Bush first filed suit in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas on March 9 versus the Borough of Brookhaven.
“In October 2011, plaintiffs’ basement flooded with waste water following a storm, prompting the Borough to dispatch a plumbing inspector. The Borough’s plumbing inspector determined that the waste water had originated from the Borough’s sewage system,” the suit stated.
“The Borough’s plumbing inspector further recommended that a backflow valve be installed in the interior of plaintiffs’ property. The Borough subsequently installed a backflow valve inside plaintiffs’ house on Oct. 11, 2011.”
