Hughson church awaits city or contractor to cover messy damages
Pastor displaced from parsonage since December
Hughson tub mess
In December a cement-like material used to fill an abandoned sewer line flooded the parsonage owned by the Hughson Church of Christ in the 1500 block of Tully Road home in Hughson. Two months later, the church has been out $17,000 in clean-up and repair costs with a blame game going on between the city and a contractor.
Life for a Hughson pastor and his wife and that of his church family has been in a state of upheaval since Dec. 7 when a thick concrete like substance began flowing up from their toilet bowls and bathtubs and creeping into bathroom and bedrooms. It’s the stuff nightmares are made of but since the mess caused when a contractor filled an abandoned and crumbling sewer line on Tully Avenue, nobody seems to be taking responsibility for the damage – or willing to pay for it.
