City suit seeks damages over water leak responsibility
The filing argues the leak originated beneath an alley and was controlled by the Baltimore City Bureau of Electrical and Mechanical Services, not the contractor. Consulting engineers allegedly advised the leak was not the contractor’s fault, and a public retraction was refused.
