11-12-380 Townhouses and similar structures – Right of entry – Owner responsibilities.

   The commissioner may deem it necessary to enter private or public property at the owner's expense, for the purpose of correcting violations and/or to protect the public health safety, and welfare. Paraphrasing Sections 11-8-050* and 11-12-040, the owner is responsible for water piping toward the building unit from the shut-off rod box to the furthermost water outlet. In that meter vaults and vaulted sidewalks are usually on the outlet side of the shut-off rod box, it is, therefore, the owner's responsibility to construct and maintain same and to prevent frost or flood damage resulting therefrom. If the department's expenses are not paid within 30 days from the date of the first notice, the water service may be terminated at owner's expense.
