The city engineer is authorized to grant permits as he or she may deem necessary for allowing persons to tap the public sewers. However, the permit shall be granted on the express condition that the owner or tenant for whose benefit the connection shall be made and each succeeding tenant shall, in consideration of the privilege granted, hold the city harmless for any loss or damage that may in any way result from or be occasioned by the tap or connection. If an application for a house and building sewer permit is denied by the city engineer, the applicant can appeal the denied permit to the Board of Public Utilities for resolving the problem or rendering a decision.
