Dear [City's Name or Department],
Subject: Reimbursement Request for Plumbing Damages
I am writing to formally address an ongoing plumbing issue that has caused significant damage to my property at [Your Address] over the past three months. Despite spending over $* on plumbing services to resolve the issue, it was recently determined that the clog causing the damage is located * feet past my fence line, which falls under the city's responsibility.
The repeated clogs have resulted in my home being flooded over * times in the last three months, causing extensive damage. Each time, city representatives indicated that the issue was on my property, and I was held responsible for the repairs.
Given the new information that the clog is beyond my property line, I respectfully request the city to reimburse the expenses incurred and take immediate action to resolve the issue to prevent further damage to my home.
Attached are copies of all relevant receipts, communications, and reports for your review. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
**** ****
