The church accepted the city's shared settlement offer on more than $7,100 in damages resulting from sewer backup into the parish rectory at 212 Appleton St.

Public Works Director Mark Radtke said a city contractor "lined over" what was thought to be an old abandoned sanitary sewer lateral out to Third Street last march after a church employee had told the city's inspector that the church's sanitary sewer lateral went out to Appleton Street.
