The stormwater drainage facilities shall be maintained by the lot owners in the subdivision unless this maintenance responsibility is clearly given to one or more lot owners as identified on the approved plat. The responsible lot owners shall be jointly and severely liable for the cost. If the responsible lot owners fail to maintain the drainage facilities, however, the city may perform the maintenance, or repairs, on the drainage facilities and may place a lien on the lots in the subdivision for the cost of the repairs or maintenance, provided that the city provides the responsible lot owners written notice of its intention to make the repairs or maintenance, and allows the responsible lot owners 30 days to correct the deficiencies. If the responsible lot owners fail to correct the deficiencies, however, the city may then place a lien against the responsible lot owners.
