§ 52.026. MAINTENANCE OF SERVICE LINES.

Owners of premises and customers shall be required to install and maintain, at their cost, all service lines from the water main to the customer’s meter. Any cost that the City may incur in repairing the service lines, including, but not limited to replacement of street surfacing, replacement of sod, cost of labor and materials and all other costs reasonably incurred in the repairing of the service lines, shall be promptly remitted to the City by the property owner or the customer, or both the property owner and customer. Upon a water service line leaking, the City shall send to the property owner, by next day priority mail, a certified letter providing that the property owner shall have 24 hours to repair the line, and if not repaired within the 24-hour period, the City shall cause the line to be repaired with the costs of time, material and water loss billed to the property owner.
