(A) The utility shall maintain sewer service within the limits of the village from street main to the property line and including all controls between the same, without expenses to the property owner, except when they are damaged as a result of negligence or carelessness on the part of the property owners, a tenant or an agent of the owner, in which case they will be repaired at the expense of the property owner. All sewer services from the point of maintenance by the system to and throughout the premises must be maintained free of defective conditions, by and at the expense of the owner or occupant of the property.
(B) For purposes of allocating maintenance responsibility under division (A) above, in the event maintenance is required to the lateral between the sewer main and the building or dwelling, the property owner shall have the duty to determine and ascertain to a reasonable degree of certainty whether the maintenance or repair is required on the village’s side of the property line or the owner’s side of the property. After said determination is made, the maintenance or repairs shall be remedied in accordance with division (A) above.
(C) When any sewer service is to be re-laid and there are two or more buildings on such service, each building shall be disconnected from such service and a new service shall be installed for each building.
