Acceptance of Insurance Reimbursement for February 4, 2020 Water Main Break
On February 4, 2020 Village staff was notified about a water main break at the intersection of Bridge
Road and US 1. Utilities and Public Works staff immediately responded and worked through the night
to identify the source of the break which was found to be the concentrate disposal pipe associated
with the membrane process at the Village Water Treatment Plant hit by a directional drilling contractor
(JSP Solutions) installing underground conduit for AT&T. As a result, the membrane process was
required to be shut down and the emergency interconnects with the Town of Jupiter opened to supply
supplemental water to the Village's water system while the emergency repair was completed.
The total cost to complete the necessary repairs came to $83,991.11. These costs were invoiced to
the contractor and their insurance company has accepted the costs. To receive reimbursement in the
amount of $83,991.11 a Release of Claims is required to be executed by the Village releasing JSP
Solutions (as subcontractor to MasTec North America, Inc.) of further claims associated with the
break.
Approve execution of Release of Claims and acceptance of reimbursement of $83,991.11 for
February 4, 2020 pipe break.
