The claim alleges that the contractor hired by the City of La Habra to perform road and curb work on Palm Street covered a cut-out for a curb drain from this property which, due to the heavy rains at the time, caused water to back up into the apartment complex that would have normally drained out to the street. This claim was tendered to the City's contractor conducting street paving work at that location.
