12, and that claim was verbally denied by the insurance carrier on April 13. Mr Carmean met
with city staff on April 18, and stated that on April 27 he delivered three letters to city staff
which stated that the city had been given prior notice of the problem. He also said that he did
not agree with the assessment made by city staff that water entered the sewer system through
uncapped service lines. Mr Randy Clark, a neighbor of Mr Carmean who also experience a
back -up on the same day, addressed the Trustees. He said that the same problem had occured
last year. Trustee Ewing asked Mr Clark if he had filed a claim last year. Mr Clark said that
he had not. Mr Ewing asked Mr Clark if he had filed a claim this year. Mr Clark said that he
had. Mr Ewing asked Mr Clark if his claim was also denied. Mr Clark said that it was. Mr
Ray said that there were two claims filed on the Clark residence - Mr Clark filed one as resident
and the owner of the property also filed one - with both claims being denied. Mr Ray said that
the problem had existed for several years and that he feels the insurance company should pay
the claims. The Trust Attorney suggested that he meet with the insurance company prior to the
next regular Authority meeting concerning the claims. Mr Ewing suggested that the item be
tabled to next agenda so that Mr Cates can meet with the insurance company. Chairman Duke
tabled the item to the next regular Authority meeting. Mr Burris requested a full engineering
report on the status of the problem and suggested solutions.
Mr Carmean also addressed the Trustees about a problem with the berm on the east side of the

OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
' FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REPORT ON DISCUSSIONS WITH INSURANCE COMPANY IN
REFERENCE TO CARMEAN /COOK CLAIMS
DATE: June 2, 1994
BACKGROUND:
At the May 17th OPWA meeting, Mr Todd Carmean addressed the Trustees in reference to a
claim he had filed against the City for damages incurred as a result of a wastewater backup.
Also speaking at that meeting was Mr Cook, a neighbor of Mr Carmean, who had also
experienced a wastewater backup on the same date as Mr Carmean's claim. Subsequent to their
discussions with the Trustees, the Authority Chairperson tabled the issue until the June 7th
regularly scheduled meeting in order to give the City Attorney an opportunity to meet with the
insurance company. Pursuant to those instructions, Mr Cates has met with representatives of
the insurance company and has attempted to convince them that the City did, in fact, 1) know
of the existing condition of the wastewater line; 2) that we have experienced problems on that
line previously; and 3) that coverage should be afforded these two citizens.
Additionally, Mr Cates arranged a discussion between the insurance company and the City
Manager (Cates was also present). During that telephonic conversation, the insurance company
was clearly told that the City did, in fact, have previous notice of the inadequacy of the line and
that there were significant problems with infiltration into those lines.
Unfortunately, as of the date of this memorandum, the insurance company has not responded
with a decision on the claims. Mr Cates plans on holding one more conversation with the
company on Friday, June 3. However, if a favorable response is not received by Monday, June
6, a call directly to the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group's executive director will be
placed. If the call is necessary, its purpose is to give the OMAG an opportunity to direct their
insurer to pay the claims, thus avoiding the possibility of the City paying the claims, then taking
the OMAG to court to recover the money spent.
Since the insurance issue is not yet totally resolved, a final report and recommendation relating
to this matter will be made during the meeting.
Carmean /Cook Claims
June 2, 1994

RECOMMENDATION•
Should the insurance company deny coverage, it is probable that the staff will recommend that
the Trustees authorize payment of the claim and direct the staff to take the necessary action to
recover those costs from the insurance company.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CHAIRPERSON AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
t FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO ADDRESS TRUSTEES RELATING TO CLAIM
AGAINST CITY
DATE: May 13, 1994
I ab BACKGROUND:
Mr Todd Carmean, a resident of Owasso (11326 N 106th E AVE, Hale Acres), has requested
to address the Trustees relating to a sewage "backup" that occurred on April 11, 1994. Mr
Carmean filed a claimed against the city as a result of that backup claiming damage in the
amount of approximately $600. That claim was forwarded to our insurance company for action.
r Additional information relating to the claim was presented to the city after a meeting between
the staff and Mr Carmean. That information was, in turn, sent to the insurance company.
' On May 9, 1994, the city's insurance carrier notified Mr Carmean and two other residents from
his neighborhood who had filed similar claims, that a recommendation for denial of the claim
had been transmitted to the city.
Oklahoma courts have consistently ruled that a city is not required to guarantee and insure its
' sanitary sewer system. Generally, the law has not held the city automatically liable for damages
to property as the result of a sewage backup. However, a city may be liable if it had prior
notice of a defect or problem in the sewer line and did not take action to remedy the problem
within a reasonable time. The reasoning in support of these rulings is that, without prior notice,
it is not reasonable to expect that a city can know of and solve every problem in an extensive
Isewer system.
Immediately preceding the backup in Mr Carmean's house, a rainfall of six (6) inches during
' a forty- eighty hour period had been recorded. City staff members canvassed the neighborhood
and found twelve service lines uncapped (at the "clean outs) that allow additional inflow into the
system.
At Mr Carmean's request, I visited his house on the day of the backup. My observation was
that a slight backup did occur in Mr Carmean's bathroom that affected approximately six square
feet of carpet. After that visit and one to the residence immediately north of his, I authorized
Carmean Claim
May 13, 1994
Page 2
the installation of "check valves" on his and two other service lines. The installation of those
check valves was taken to prevent another back up and as a risk management measure since we
had been placed on notice of a problem in the sewer line that services those residents.
Under the Governmental Tort Claims Act, unless affirmative action is taken by the City Council,
a claim is deemed to the denied ninety days after being received by the city. However, if a
claimant so desires, he may file a lawsuit against the city if he does so within 180 days from the
date of denial of the claim.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since Mr Carmean requested only to address the Trustees regarding the claim, there is no
request for action on this agenda. While the situation is unfortunate and regrettable, it appears
that the best course of action would be for Mr Carmean to make a decision regarding how he
wishes to pursue the matter. It should be noted that a Council action to pay the claim after
denial by the insurance company could set a very expensive precedent. That possibility can be
avoided if the Council allows the claim to be denied by allowing the ninety -day period to expire,
thus giving Mr Carmean approximately eight months (from this date) to file a lawsuit (should
he desire to do so). If you have questions, please call Ms Regena Rogers, Mr Cates or me.

RE: Claim No.: 94000286
Date of Loss: 4 -11 -94
Member: City of Owasso
Dear Mr. Carmean:
We have completed our investigation of the referenced claim.
Based upon the following facts, we have recommended to the City
of Owasso that the claim be denied.
Oklahoma law has consistently held that a municipality is not an
insurer of its sanitary sewer system. This means that a
municipality is not automatically liable for damages to property
which result from a sewage backup. A municipality may be liable
only if it had prior notice of a defect or problem in the sewer
line and failed to take appropriate remedial action within a
reasonable time before the damage occurred.
Our investigation indicates that the source of the problem was
surface water infiltration due to 6 inches of rain in 48 hours.
After your loss, the city discovered 12 service lines left
uncapped which would allow additional surface water to enter the
sewer mains. These lines have since been capped. However, the
city is not acepwater which coversethelines
manholes are
andhentersable
the
control surface water
sewer system.
Therefore, we have determined that the City of Owasso was not
negligent in its maintenance of the sanitary sewer line.
Accordingly, while we regret the damage to your property and the
inconvenience and distress involved in the clean up, we do not
believe that state law authorizes us to pay for your damages on
behalf of the City of Owasso.
sincerely,
Mary Ellis, CPTW, ATC

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
(Owasso Project Number G3.100 -94)
CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
DATE: May 26, 1994
BACKGROUND:
Approximately 15,500 linear feet of cast iron water lines are old and deteriorated in the older
sections of town (essentially south from 86th Street North /west of Highway 169 and south of
76th Street North /east of Highway 169). These lines are located in the oldest, most mature
section of the city. The cast iron lines are filled with deposits which restrict the water pressure
and hamper the flow of water to the customers and inhibit the flow of water for fire fighting
purposes. Conditions causing deterioration of these lines will continue because of the types of
chemicals in the treated water needed to comply with drinking water standards, soil
characteristics, and weather conditions. Therefore, deterioration of this portion of the system
requires replacement of the lines to provide for proper pressure, flow and safety for the
community.
The City of Owasso secured a low interest loan from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board for
improvements to the water distribution system, wastewater collection system and wastewater
treatment plant. Approval of the loan required selection of an engineering firm for the design
of the improvements. After interviewing five engineering firms, the Trustees selected NOVA
Engineering to design the improvements to the water distribution and wastewater collection
systems.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
As designed, the water line project consists of replacement and upgrading of approximately
15,000 linear feet of 6 -, 4 -, and 2 -inch cast iron water lines with 6- and 4 -inch AWWA C -900

polyvinylchloride (PVC) piping. The location of the lines to be replaced are shown on the ,
attached map.
NOVA Engineering has completed the design plans and specifications for the construction. Staff
has reviewed and approved the design and contract documents. Estimated cost of construction
is $516,000.
As shown on the attached schedule, the project is anticipated to start construction in August
1994. The construction period is expected to be 180 days and should be completed in February
1995.
PROJECT FUNDING:
Loan funds from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
RECOnM[ENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Trustees authorize advertisement for bids of the design plans and
contract documents for the Water Line Replacement Project (Number G3.100 -94) as designed
by NOVA Engineering.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: WATER SERVICE TO AREA ACQUIRED FROM ROGERS COUNTY
RURAL WATER DISTRICT #3
DATE: May 26, 1994
BACKGROUND:
In March 1993, the Trustee of the Owasso Public Works Authority approved a buyout proposal
for the purchase of water in a portion of the Rogers County Rural Water District #3. Three
water mains were required in order to remove the customers from the Rogers County system
and provide water from the system operated by the City of Owasso.
The area presently being provided service by the City of Owasso is shown on the attached
drawing. The water lines to connect the customers to the City system are indicated.
To date, the 3" water line required along 145th E. Avenue has been completed. Customers in
Pleasant View will be provided service from a main extending along 96th Street North from
129th E. Avenue to the entrance to Pleasant View Estates.
A 4" line to interconnect Glenn -Murr Acres II and City Vue Estates is also required. The water
main can be constructed in a relatively short period of time by City personnel.
