(A) It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain in good working order and/or replace service pipes, including curb stops, from the main to the meter.
(B) The property owner shall immediately repair any leak occurring in their service pipe when the property owner is notified by the Public Works Department that the leak is in their service. Within 24 hours, the property owner shall provide the Department the name of the contractor that will make the repair and when the repair will be made, which repair must be completed within two days. If the repair has not been completed within three days from the date the property owner was first notified of the leak, the Public Works Department shall cause the work to be completed and the property owner will be billed for all expenses involved. If for some reason the work is deemed to be a hazard for the safety and welfare of the general public, the Public Works Department may cause the work to be completed immediately after discovering the leak, and bill all expenses to the customer.
