Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Oklahoma

Sewer back up

The city where I live cleaned the main sewer city sewer line and it backed up in my house with me not there and ruined everything on the floor. All the carpet is having to be pulled out in every room as well as an emergency restoration service coming in. Is going to cost me thousands of dollars. Is the city liable and do I have any recourse?
