Owner, lessee or renter shall be obligated to and liable for the expense of all repairs, replacements and relocations necessary to water service pipes. When a leak occurs between the meter and the main, the city shall repair it. When a leak occurs between the end of the meter connection (house side) and the house or building served, the leak shall be immediately repaired by the owner, lessee or renter at the person's expense. The owner, lessee or renter shall be charged for all water metered, whether used or wasted, provided the leak is not from the meter connection.
