Langdon Lane Sewer Backup Claims
On April 22, 2001, sewer backup occurred in ten homes in the Langdon Lane neighborhood.
Since that time, the property damage was assessed and adjusted by independent adjusters
representing the insurance firms of both the City of Mound and Metropolitan Environmental
Services. Both determined that their client was not at fault.
To work through this matter, independent engineering professional, Don Brauer, has been hired
as mediator. As an objective third party, Mr Brauer will direct the process, work through the
issues and recommend a fair solution to the City Council, for their action.

Mound City Council
On April 22, 2001, the sewers on Langdon Lane backed up and flooded the
lower levels of the homes with raw sewage for the second time in less than
two years. Per Pat Meisel and Greg Skinner's request, we have obtained
estimates, which are attached, outlining the work that needs to be done to
remedy this problem. Also attached are lists of homes that are affected.
Because the cause and corrective action from the 1999 occurrence did not
correct the problem, we request the City of Mound and the Metropolitan
Council cover the cost of the work.
During Bob Brown's visit to our homes the day after the back up occurred,
Bob suggested that our block hold a separate meeting with the City Council.
This needs to occur before the May council meeting, as the threat of this
problem happening again at any time, still exists. Please contact John Babler
at 952-472-1045, or Sharon Baumel at 952-491-8304 (w), or 952-472-3412
(h), to schedule a date for this meeting.

Dear Mr./Mrs. Davis:
As you may be aware, we have been commissioned by
the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
(LMCIT) and the City of Mound, Minnesota to
investigate the sewer backup which occurred in your
neighborhood on April 22, 2001. We recently
inspected several homes with John Babler. We have
also met with the City Public Works Department in
order to determine exactly what happened on that
date.
We have learned the Metropolitan Waste (MCES) line
at the end'of Langdon Lane paralleling the railroad
tracks was surcharged on April 22, 2001 during a day
of heavy rainfall. The city maintained sanitary
line which connects to the Metropolitan Waste line
was unable to drain into the Metro Waste line due to
the high volume of water/sewage passing through the
Metro Waste line. There are also reports that an
act of vandalism may have been the cause of a
partial blockage in the Metro Waste line.
We have also learned that there was no obstruction
in the city-maintained sanitary line servicing your
home and, therefore, it is our opinion the City of
Mound, Minnesota was not negligent in this sewer
backup occurrence.
