"The city feels bad about it, the tenant feels bad about it and the landlord feels bad about it," Nabours said. He said officials discovered the water was leaking into a fissure under the home, with no outward evidence of the leak. He said the city is offering a $2,500 discount on the bill and is trying to determine whether the landlord's insurance company will cover the rest.
