DENVER - A local business owner is dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and lost revenue over something that wasn't even his fault, he now has an important message for any property owner in Colorado."To fill up 3,200 square-feet, with 10 to 12-foot ceilings, with water is kind of an unimaginable amount of water," he told us back in August after a water main under Broadway broke and flooded his entire lower level.
Denver Water told Denver7 the main that broke was a customer owned line. Under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, Denver Water is not responsible for damages from a no-fault water main break. After the water main break, he was cautiously optimistic that his insurance could cover some of the cost of the damage or repairs. On September 20, he received their final decision: a complete denial.
