Jamestown, ND  (KCSi-T.V. News Jan 2, 2013)  —  The Jamestown City Engineer’s Office is informing residents that households may have already received a mailing from a firm called ‘American Water Resources of North Dakota’ or ‘AWR’, concerning a form of utility service line insurance. This firm notified the City of Jamestown on Monday, December 31, 2012, that they would be conducting a mass mailing to resident and business addresses in Jamestown.

The City acknowledges that the individual water and sewer service lines from the City mains to the residence or business are, by City Code, the responsibility of the Property Owner. The city  further acknowledge that costs for normal repairs or replacement of these service lines are borne by the Property Owner.

The city says,  this firm is not associated in any way with the City of Jamestown. Further, the City has had no dealings with ‘AWR’ and has no knowledge of the firm and its operations, and therefore is not able to recommend any course of action regarding this mailing.
