(b) The Municipality shall maintain all sewers in dedicated public easements or rights of way. No maintenance will be performed on sanitary sewers that do not lie within public easements or dedicated rights of way.

(c) The Municipality will perform all maintenance of the public sanitary sewers. The property owner will be held responsible for the maintenance of the building sewer. The Municipality may require the property owner to make any repairs to or perform any maintenance on the building sewer that the Municipality deems necessary for the proper functioning of the sanitary sewerage system. If the Municipality is called upon or finds it necessary to repair or maintain any building connection, the cost of such repair or maintenance shall be billed directly to the property owner.
(d) The Municipality expressly disclaims any responsibility for damage caused by, or arising from, any stoppage of the public sanitary sewerage systems.
