(a) The City shall maintain in good repair at no cost to the customer that portion of the two inch or smaller service line between the corporation stop, up to and including the curb stop located within the road right-of-way or water line easement limits. The property owner shall maintain that portion of the service line on the property side of the curb stop in good repair and protect the same from frost or other damage at the owner's own cost. The account holder shall prevent waste of, unaccounted for use, or leakage of water and no claim shall be made against the City for damage resulting from breakage of any service pipe or connection or damage arising from shutting off water to repair mains or for any other reason. The total cost of repairs of services larger than two inches is the responsibility of the owner.
(b) In the event that a leak occurs between the curb valve and the meter, it shall be the duty of the property owner to repair same within an expedited period of time. When the City discovers the existence of a leak, the property owner will be notified and instructed to repair it. If within seventy-two hours the owner has not taken steps to repair the leak (by accomplishing the repair or providing a copy of an executed contract to do so), the water service to the premises may be shut off at the curb stop. Water service to the premises will not again be restored until the ordered repairs have been completed.
