Belmond Gets Sewer Line Protection
THE CITY OF BELMOND IS INTRODUCING A NEW, OPTIONAL PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO HOMEOWNERS, PROVIDED THROUGH THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES (NLC) SERVICE LINE WARRANTY PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY SERVICE LINE WARRANTIES OFAMERICA (SLWA). THE SERVICE LINE WARRANTY PROGRAM PROVIDES WARRANTY PROTECTION FOR SEWER LINES.
ACCORDING TO MAYOR ALAN MATTISON, MANY CITIZENS ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEWER LINES THAT GO FROM THEIR HOUSES TO THE UTILITY CONNECTION, AND IF THOSE LINES BREAK OR LEAK, REPAIRS CAN BE EXPENSIVE. THE SERVICE LINE WARRANTY PROGRAM OFFERS CITIZENS WARRANTY PROTECTION TO HELP COVER THE COSTS OF A BREAK.
CITY OF BELMOND RESIDENTS WILL SEE OFFERS IN THEIR MAILBOXES SOON. THE COST FOR WARRANTY PROTECTION IS $5.95 PER MONTH, AND WILL COVER SEWER LINE REPAIRS UP TO $4,000 PLUS AN ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCE OF $4,000 FOR PUBLIC STREET CUTTING, IF NEEDED. THE PROGRAM IS OFFERED AT NO COST TO THE CITY OF BELMOND, AND NO PUBLIC FUNDS ARE USED TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM.
