Willis Tower insurer sues city of Chicago over flood damage

Guido Coppa/Unsplash About 14 months after the Willis Tower sustained an estimated $110 million in damage from a massive flood, the skyscraper’s insurance company has gone to court to force the city of Chicago and local sewer district to cover some of the clean-up cost. A lawsuit filed by Travelers Property Casualty Company of America alleges that the city and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago are responsible for the flooding at the building during storms in May 2020 that dropped more than 8 inches of rain on the city, overwhelming its sewers. The Chicago River overflowed its banks on May 17, and the reclamation district opened up the locks near Navy Pier, allowing the floodwater to flow out into Lake Michigan.

Chicago Officials Offer Flooding Prevention Tips With More Rain Expected

While flooding may not be able to be totally prevented, experts say you can make a big difference by taking several steps. OEMC officials say to disconnect downspouts from your sewer, buy rain barrels to collect water, clear areas around your downspouts and clean debris away from sewers. When heavy rain hits, such measures can help to divert water from the more than 4,000 miles of sewer pipe under Chicago’s streets, city officials said. The structure wasn’t built to handle storms like those that brought extreme flooding to the city this past weekend. The city of Chicago also plays a role in preventing rising floodwaters, using rain blockers to slow the amount of water going into sewers at one time. While this may flood a street for a few hours, OEMC officials say it s better than too much water overflowing the sewer, leaving your basement as the only place for water to go.
