SULLIVAN, Ind. — The City of Sullivan recently settled a lawsuit against Floyd-Hunter Environmental, LLP for $325,000.
Floyd-Hunter Environmental had ongoing contractual agreements with the City of Sullivan since 2006 for operating and managing the city’s wastewater treatment plant, gravity sewer collection lines and sewage lift stations.
“The City has been required to expend significant funds to repair and maintain its wastewater treatment plant, gravity sewer collection lines, and lift stations,” says Clint Lamb, Sullivan Mayor. “Our administration is focused on continuing to improve our system. These improvements are necessary in attracting future commercial and residential development.”
The court case resulted in a claim for breach of contract and negligent services provided. The acts and omissions of Floyd-Hunter led the city to receive violations from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for violated environmental rules which were remedied by the city.
“We are very glad to finally have a positive resolution as we continue to move forward,” states Mayor Lamb.
