Municipal officials recently received notice that a man intends to sue the town after a pipe froze and exploded in his home this winter, causing extensive damage, documents show. On Jan. 3, a water loss incident occurred at the home of Oleg Williamson, located at 41 Thrush Lane, according to a Notice of Intent To Sue filed on behalf of Cincinnati Insurance Company, by attorney Melisa E. Iozzi of New York-based Stutman Law. The damage will cost Williamson $230,272.54, it said. The pipe explosion took place because “Hoffman Energy drilled holes in an exterior wall of Williamson’s home to install a new propane line,” the Notice said.
