City Of Carlsbad Loses In A Landslide

13728175 240X180Looks like a leaking Carlsbad City pipe is to blame to the tune of $11.3 million in a slow-moving landslide that destoyed eight condo unites on La Costa Avenue.

A multimillion-dollar lawsuit has been settled against the city of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District over a condo complex destroyed by a landslide. . . The eight units of the La Costa De Marbella condominium project in the 2400 block of La Costa Avenue had to be demolished after the slow-moving slide in March 2005. The suit was settled for $12.5 million.

City officials claimed the slide was the result of heavy rains, but the court did not believe them. Maybe they can borrow some money from The Crossings. That project seems to be loaded.
