(A) Repairs or relocations of existing main sewers, or appurtenances required by reason of damage, or conflict, may be performed by the District or by the contractors engaged by the District.
(B) In the event any of the District’s existing sewer mains, manholes or other appurtenances are damaged during construction or repair, and the District Engineer, in his or her sole discretion, determines that there is a threat to the District’s system, the District may employ District forces or other contractors to take the necessary steps to repair such damage. In such an event, the owner of the property involved, the general contractor and the contractor shall jointly and severally be liable for the District’s necessary repair cost. The District may withhold acceptance of construction and reporting the same to the city and/or county in the event of building permit issuance was required for construction until payment of the District’s necessary repair costs or other financial arrangements to compensate the District are made.
(C) In an emergency, no “work order” must be signed in order for the owner or any of the owner’s agents or contractors to be responsible for repair costs incurred by the repairs undertaken by District. No approval and acceptance of construction will be issued by the District until the reasonable cost of repairs are paid, or arrangements acceptable to the District are made for such reimbursement.
