Victims of the 2009 rainstorm that flooded more than 1,500 homes in the city’s west-end have filed a $1.5-million lawsuit against the City of Ottawa. The lawsuit alleges the municipality was negligent in the design and maintenance of the city’s sewer system and failed to protect homeowners from sewage spills. The group action lawsuit lists 62 property owners from Glen Cairn, Katimavik, Beaverbrook, Stittsville, and downtown Ottawa who have filed claims ranging from $1,400 to $83,000, and an additional $25,000 per plaintiff for “aggravated damages.” A statement of defence hasn’t been filed. Ronald and Patricia Lamoureux, who for the past 18 years have lived in their home on Castlefrank Road, are claiming $33,892. The Glen Cairn couple signed up for the group-action lawsuit during a meeting discussing the flooding issue hosted by the city at the Kanata Sports Recreation Complex following the 2009 flood. The Lamoureuxs have suffered through three floods during the past 15 years – each one following a so called once-in-a-century storm. “Three times my basement has been flooded,” said Patricia Lamoureux. “I lost everything in my basement.” Each flood creates the need to renovate.
