Looking for advice.
A month or so ago the city sent a letter stating that they did sewer testing and there was an issue on my property that was my responsibility to address. I had a plumber come out and run his camera through my lines and none of my plumbing goes to the area in question. In fact, our lines go to the sewer behind our house and the issue was with the sewer in front of our house. We paid $500-$600 for this. We called the city and told them and asked about being reimbursed for the fees. They obviously said no and then had their own people come out and confirm. We didn’t hear anymore about it so not sure what they decided the issue was. This feels like something they should take care of since the original letter didn’t really present any options other than call a professional and it seems like they were mistaken on the responsibility.
Is trying to sue the city out only option or is there something else we can do? Would it be worth the effort and potential additional cost?
