(Des Moines, Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a couple from Council Bluffs, who sued Council Bluffs Water Works for damages to their home and property, resulting from multiple water main breaks. Court documents indicate Jim and Angela Sutton's house in Council Bluffs sits near an intersection where an underground water main broke in November 2020, sending water flowing to the surface. The Suttons alerted Council Bluffs Water Works to the problem and, over the next eight weeks, crews inspected and repaired breaks to the pipe on five different occasions.
