for damages and/or losses to private property.
Policy Statement:
The Municipality has an obligation to maintain its infrastructure. In doing so, the Municipality
endeavors to provide services that meet a reasonable standard of care. If it is believed that the

systems, etc. which has caused damage to private property, you can file a third-party liability
claim against the Municipality.

Municipality. If the claimant does not have insurance, the claimant must provide a written
claim directly to the Municipality as outlined in Section 2 of this policy.

or as soon as possible after the damage has occurred. Notification of a potential claim
