They said there was no stop box that we could hool< up to. They said we � would have to tap the main. I talked to the previous owner and he said there was a stop box put in already, so I contacted the water department two different times about it and they said that there was no stop box. They did not come check it out, so we dug th� street up and tap a new one ar�d as we where back filling the dirt, we found a stop box that was already there, that the water department said ; there was not one at this location. I have $7,413.08 paid out in this and I should of I � i� only had the expense from the stop box to the house. I should be reirribursed for � k the expenses because they should have had a record of a stop box being there. � '' The only expense that I SHOULD HAVE HAD was from the stop box to the building. �� I should not have had to tap in to the main and replace the street an� pay ij $3,086.72 for hookup fees. I feel like the water department did not do their job by !'' ! locating that stop box that was put in wher� the street wnras p�at in. The v�rater �� " department had to tap the main, plumber had to insta�l the stop box and get it !'� inspected. So therefor they should have had iraformation on this stop box being � ut in. When we found the sta box that was alread there ! called the water I'� p p Y , department and they said we need to shut one stop box off. I said that we back filled alread and had concrete on its wa . Then the said that we needed to tie y v v he two s x t ether and I asked them who was a in �or it and the said t to bo es o 'il! p � p Y g Y that it is the homeowner's expense. i told them that i was not payin� it, �that it I` was not my problem. So, it got left at that, nobody did anything about it. I went to ;' the water department to talk to them on 01-09-2019 about what was going to be ,: �'� done with the stop bax. They said they where not sure because it sh�uld not be li �' done on my expense, so they are not sure what they are going to do about it. �, �� 'i; City of Dubuque $3086.72 �i �` Plumber $1800.00 ; � r �c�n�r�t� ��9�3_7� i �; Selco $312.64 � ��'� Excavating $1200.00 i h Confidential � This communication and any attachments may contain information_ which is confidentiai and privileged by law and is for the use of the designated recipient. if you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified tha# you have received this com'munication in error, and that any review, disclosure, dissemination, distribution or copying of its contents is prohibited.
