(A) The property owner shall be responsible for first ascertaining the approximate location of damaged or broken section of piping serving the property. If the damaged or broken section is in the public right-of-way, the property owner shall contact the Water and Wastewater Division. The Division will verify the damaged or broken location. If the damaged or broken section is verified to be in the public right-of-way and is sufficient in nature to require repair, the Division may initiate appropriate repair or replacement. When the broken section is on the private property, it will be the property owner's responsibility to repair the broken section.
(B) Disputes as to location, extent of damage or the method of repair or replacement or the damaged or broken section shall be resolved at the sole discretion of the Public Works Director.
(C) A special account shall be created to fund the repairs and replacements with an annual allocation as approved by the Town Council with the annual budget for each fiscal year. Requests for repairs or replacements shall be handled on a first-in basis. When the total funding in the account has been exhausted, all subsequent requests will be deferred until the Town Council approves additional funding to the account.
