(A) The property owner(s) to which any water line runs to a City water main is the owner of the entire water line, regardless of where such water line may be located, whether on private property or on City owned property. (Ord. 15/87, 12-21-1987)
(B) The property owner(s) to which any water line runs from a City water main is responsible to repair and maintain at his sole cost the entire length of the water line without regard to the fact that any break in such water line may have occurred on City owned property, unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the City and said owner(s) and upon payment of the application fee and monthly fee pursuant to title 13, "Schedule Of Fees", of this Code. (Ord. 16/2017, 6-5-2017)
(C) The City grants an easement to the owner(s) of any property to which any water line runs from a City water main over such City owned property as is reasonably necessary in order to repair and maintain any such water line running to his property from the City water main, subject to the prior approval of any such contemplated repair work by the City's Director of Public Works and Utilities.
(D) This section shall be deemed retroactive to the date of installation of any water line since the Corporate Authorities deem this section to be a mere restatement of the City's prior and existing policy of having the property owner(s) in question pay for all such repair and maintenance work required for any water line. The City's water and sewerage charges are not intended and have never been intended to cover the cost of repairing any water lines. (Ord. 15/87, 12-21-1987)
