WESTMINSTER
The city has received its first insurance payment, for $800,000, in connection with September’s water tank rupture on Hefley Street. The funds were received from the Orange County Risk Management Authority, a group of 11 cities that pool their funds to insure themselves for losses over $350,000.
The city has so far spent about $2.7 million in connection with the 5-million-gallon tank rupture and hopes to get much of that reimbursed from its insurance providers.
