BERLIN — The city is being sued by the International Church of The Foursquare Gospel for unspecified damages it alleges were caused when Berlin Water Works flushed a city hydrant near the church back in 2018.

The suit, filed in Coos County Superior Court, charges that on Aug. 20, 2018, Berlin Water Works “improperly performed tests on the fire hydrant located on the corner of Willow Street and Memorial Lane” in Berlin. The suit states the work caused an overpressure of the water main which flooded Harvest Christian Fellowship and its Feeding Hope food pantry, resulting in “extensive damage.”
