MEDIA – A Brookhaven couple stand by their claims that the borough is liable for more than $15,000 in damages caused to their basement, supposedly caused by a negligently installed backflow valve which 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.
