(a) Service branches are installed at the expense of the property owner, who is held responsible at all times for any leakage that may occur between the curb stop and the meter. The plumber taking out the permit for the service is responsible for one year after final inspection for any leaks developing between the corporation cock in the water main and the curb stop. The Municipal Manager will repair, without expense to the owner, any leaks which occur between the main line and the curb box, including the curb stop, providing such leaks are not caused by defective workmanship or material.
(b) Failure to repair leaks, remove obstructions preventing access to the curb box, or make payment of charges for work done by the City for such purposes, when notified to do so, will be sufficient cause for the Municipal Manager to enter the street and draw the corporation cock, which shall not be replaced until the cause for the removal has been remedied.
