(a) The Service Director is hereby directed, prior to final approval of any newly installed sewer system and/or reconstructed sewer, to require that any and all contractors cause to be made photographs or video taping of the entire sewer system installed, showing thereby that the sewer system has been constructed upon a sound engineering basis, that the sewer system is free of any and all accumulations of foreign substances of any nature and that the passage and flow of sewage and storm water is free and clear. If, in the discretion of the City Engineer, the sewers are large enough for a visual inspection to be made in lieu of photographs, such a visual inspection shall be made and a report of such inspection submitted to the City.
(b) Upon inspection of such photographs and/or visual inspection reports and, if satisfied that such sewer is free and clear of all foreign substances and there is nothing present to prevent free flow of sewage and storm waters, the Director is hereby authorized to approve same as a final inspection, placing in safekeeping all photographs and/or inspection records for future reference by the City.
(c) The cost of such photographing and photographs and/or inspection reports shall be entirely paid for by the contractor or developer of such land and/or sewer system, and such photographs and/or inspection reports shall remain the property of the City.
