DESCRIBE IN DETAIL WHAT DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRED:
On 12/14/24 1 Ron Pinkston(member of the church)went to turn the heat up for the Sunday services at the Twin Falls Bible Missionary
Church on 435 Monroe St.at approximately 14:30.1 noticed a bad smell,investigated and discovered sewer flowing out of a basement
restroom.Sewer was flowing out into the large room in front of the restrooms.I immediately called the TF city and and contacted Nathan
with the TF city water dept..at the same time another church member called Advanced Cleaning and Restoration company.Both Nathan for
TF Water dept and Kevin from Advanced Cleaning and Restoration came out immediately.Nathan checked the water meters for both the
church and the parsonage next door to the church and all was well with them both,no issues.Nathan then called Chris with the TF Waste
water dept.and he came and worked with his boss to start locating and looking into the man holes to find the blockage in the Twin falls city
sewer lines which took several hours to do so on 12/14/24.Advanced Cleaning and Rest.kept working emptying their sewer holding tank 12
times to remove the sewer that kept flowing out into the church basement.The sewer stopped flowing finally after several hours after Chris
with the TF city Waste Water dept.(and his boss)was able to open the blockage in the Twin Falls City sewer lines.Chris then came back to the
church to tell me and the cleanup crew(Kevin)that their was a blockage in the Twin Falls City sewer line and it was now open.Chris stated his
boss was watching at a certain manhole and stated to Chris that he could see the sewer now flowing appropriately after the blockage in the
City sewer line was opened.Chris stated he and his boss used the 2 manholes located in the back yard of the church neighbor(to the north
of the church)and another manhole in the ally east of Monroe St.to get the blockage opened and the sewer in the TF City sewer lines flowing
appropriately again.I asked Chris who to contact at the TF City and he gave me the phone number for Cynthia 208-736-2275.The owner of
Advanced Cleaning and Restoration,Curt Wormbaker(sp?)came to the church property later that evening on 12/14/24 and said that nobody
was to go in the church and breath the air without using a mask(a class 3 issue).Advanced Cleaning and Restoration came back in the AM
on 12/15/24 to continue cleaning and to set their fans up air cleaning equipment at the church.On 12/16/24 Advanced Cleaning and
Restoration came back to start the tear out and more clean up.On 12/16/24 1 talked to Ansina Durham at the Twin Falls City Hall about this
tort claim.The Advanced Cleaning Restoration company came out to the church on 12/16/24 and took 3D pictures of the damage.More
documentation to follow at a later date.
