No person shall construct or alter any building or other construction over, upon or immediately adjacent to any natural drainage so as to obstruct such natural drainage except upon the written approval of the public works director who may require such provisions for the natural drainage as may appear to be necessary. (Ord. 603 (part), 2004: prior code § 5-115)
Every public garage or other place having a washrack used for washing vehicles shall install a standard garage drain approved by the public works director.

(Ord. 603 (part), 2004: prior code § 5-117)
No faucet, connection, valve or like appliance so constructed as to form a cross-section, directly or indirectly, between a safe drinking water supply and an unsafe or questionable water supply, shall be permitted. No licensed plumber or any other person shall make any cross-connection to the water system of the city, either outside or inside the corporate limits, with any other water system, supply from a well, cistern or any other source whatever, nor from the city water system to any drain pipe, sewer pipe or septic tank. (Ord. 603 (part), 2004: prior code § 5-118)
In the event of breakage, leakage or obstruction of any city sewer main, the city shall be responsible for the replacement or repair of the line. In the event of breakage of any sewer line running from a residence, business or any structure to the city main line, the owner or person having responsibility of the residence, business or structure, shall be responsible for its repair or replacement. If any person shall fail to promptly repair any leaky, clogged, or inadequate private sewer line or house service sewer line, or if any person shall fail to promptly and properly empty or repair any septic tank, after being notified by the city to do so, the supply of city water may be immediately shut off from the premises of all water customers on that line, and shall remain off until the necessary repairs have been made. The city shall not be liable for any damage resulting from the shutting off of the water, and no deductions shall be allowed from regular water rates during the period that the water is shut off. The water supply shall not again be turned on to the premises until all work ordered by the city has been satisfactorily completed and a fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) paid for turning the water off and on. In addition, the city may cause the service pipe to be repaired and assess the actual cost of the repair plus an administrative charge of ten percent (10%) to the property. (Ord. 603 (part), 2004: prior code § 5-121)
