Dear Mr. Pope:
By way of this correspondence, we acknowledge receipt of the claim you filed against the City of
Coppell for damage reportedly sustained as a result of the City purging the water lines.
Please be advised we have reviewed your claim, as presented. Enclosed, you will find our check
in the amount of $225.00 which is issued as full and final settlement of this claim. Your original
claim, as presented, estimated $15 in excess water use, however, we have audited your water
usage for a three month period of time and have concluded the bill which covered the loss date
had 1,300 gallons more water usage than the previous month, an increase of $3.38. In August,
the City of Coppell provided a $6.00 for any excess water usage/inconvenience. Therefore, we
are unable to honor your request for additional reimbursement.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Extension 4645

Also, as far as I can tell all claims to date have been submitted through
the City. This should be the procedure for any further claims presented as
we (NAICO) are indemnifying the City based on the content of the contract
signed by our insured. Therefore, all claimants must comply with the
City's requirements for the filing of any claims.
Thanks for your help.
