SUBJECT: Proposed Settlement of Southern California Edison vs.
City of Tustin
This lawsuit stems from a construction project involving the
City Water Department. City employees were digging a trench in
order to install new City facilities when they damaged a Southern
California Edison electrical conduit line. There appears to have
been errors committed by each side which resulted in the damage.
As a result, Southern California Edison is willing to split the
cost of the damage. We recommend that the City agree to such an
arrangement. The total claim was for $27,861.05; the City's share
of the settlement would be $13,930.52.
