Claim Against the City of Dubuque by Linda Wolff, owner of the Opalus
Salon
Date of Claim
Date of Loss
Nature of Claim
10/05/09
09/29/09
Loss of Revenue
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that the Opalus Salon was not notified of a
scheduled water service shut down to the system which occurred on September 29,
2009 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. and as a result, the Opalus Salon suffered $375.00 in
lost revenue.
According to the report of Bob Green, Water Department Manager, although Water
Department staff notified all others affected by the scheduled water service shut down,
staff failed to notify the Opalus Salon.
It is therefore the recommendation of Bob Green to approve the claim for $357.00 as filed.
The City Attorney's Office concurs with this recommendation.
