The owner of property being served by the water utility shall install, maintain in good working condition and protect from frost, and replace if necessary at their own expense, any service pipe. The owner of any service pipe which is susceptible to or has a history of freezing in the winter may be notified by the water utility to replace the service pipe in such a manner as to prevent it from freezing. Said notice may be given in person, by posting on the premises or by first class mail. Any owner, after being served the notice, shall replace the service pipe during the next succeeding construction season. If the owner should fail to remedy the condition, in addition to penalties prescribed in this chapter, no allowance or consideration shall be given if water is allowed to flow from any outlet on the premises to avoid service from freezing.
