Great article, glad to know the situation is finally coming out for all to see. I guess the City of Tucson and the Water dept are going to ride that "rain" horse until it dies.
I work in the Barrio everyday and see the destruction caused by the City of Tucson’s deteriorating water mains to the historic buildings owned by the Rollings family. City of Tucson and Water Dept. leaders should feel ashamed of their wonton negligence and disregard for the maintenance and replacement of the old and leaking water mains which have severely damaged a number of special adobe buildings. Instead of making things right, the leaders of the City of Tucson and Water Dept. forced the Rollings into litigation, at taxpayer’s expense. It was sure easy for these leaders to dig in their heals and refuse to work with the Rollings family. They shirked their responsibility, knowing that the cost to litigate the matter was not going to be at their own personal expense. After hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent, the only winners were the attorneys. Today, the buildings are still damaged and cannot be occupied and 90+ year-old deteriorating water mains sit in front of them. It’s time for our City leaders to bite the bullet and settle with these people.
