NOTICE OF CLAIM FORM to the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota ATTACHMENT
CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT UNDER SPRWS LEAD-FREE PROGRAM
The following is additional information related to the attached claim form:
Date of Incident or Date Discovered:
March 13, 2025, beginning around 9:15am
A unit owner in the Huntington Condominiums located at 300 Marshall Avenue in Saint
Paul, discovered water coming through the basement slab. They had Master Plumbing of
Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota investigate the source of the water. The plumber exposed
the pipe and discovered leaks in the elbow of mainline where it bends to go up to the water
meter.
Tom Zangs, Plumbing Inspector, came to the building to review the situation. He
determined that the waterline to the water cut-oƯ in the boulevard needed to be replaced.
He thought that because the existing line was galvanized steel, it would be eligible for the
Lead-Free Replacement Program administered by Saint Paul Regional Water Services
(SPRWS).
Graeme Chaple, Distribution Division Manager, informed Illona LaDouceur that the leak
investigation stated this event would be part of the Lead-Free Replacement Program and to
get information from Tom Zangs and Scott Anderson.
Tom Zang forwarded the contact information for the condo association:
Primary Contact:
Rob Williams, Association Treasurer

Contact for Access to Unit where work would be done:
Evan Carothers
Unit 7
715-220-7497
evan.carothers@gmail.com .
Ilona LaDouceur contacted Rob Williams to do the Intent Form over the phone and then
told him that she would email the agreement for signature. During preparation of the
agreement Kathy told her that it had been determined this property “No longer met the
criteria” for the program. Ilona was told that Tom Zangs would again contact Rob of this
and that Rob would need to contact a private contractor to make the replacement.
After securing three bids, the condominium association contracted with M&B Services, Inc.
to complete the replacement.
On the morning of March 20, M&B completed the work.
That same day Graeme Chaple and Brent Marsolek, Project Manager, informed the Lead-
Free Coordinator that it was a bad/negligent decision to not do the replacement as Rob had
been informed earlier that the “galvanized steel falls under the lead category”. He asked
Ilona to call Rob and restart the replacement process. She called Tom Zangs, who
informed her that M&B Services had just finished the work moments before.
Brent Marsolek had Rich Rowland, Business Division Manager, confirm reimbursement for
the work because of negligence.
Ilona called Rob and informed him that the SPRWS would reimburse the condominium
association for the work. She would send him the paperwork needed for reimbursement.
We are sending the attached claim form, this attachment, and the invoice/receipt from
M&B Services, Inc. to process a reimbursement in the amount of $10,200 to the Huntington
Condominiums.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rob Williams, Association Treasurer
