ALTAMONT — The village of Altamont is being sued by a Prospect Terrace couple who allege that a neglected municipal stormwater system sent floodwaters through their house during back-to-back storms last June, gutting a finished basement, flooding an attached garage, and producing mold damage that will cost more than $150,000 to repair.
The lawsuit, filed April 24 in Albany County Supreme Court by Dustin and Catherine Abbott, accuses the village of negligence in the design, installation, review, and maintenance of its stormwater drainage system.
Altamont Mayor Kerry Dineen did not immediately respond to a request for comment…
