§ 51.081 REAL PROPERTY SPLITS OF COMMON STRUCTURES.
   (A)   In the event a single structure is split into two or more separate parcels without a common owner, no real property split shall be approved by the Planning Commission and no continuation of water services shall be made until all of the conditions set forth in this section have been satisfied.
   (B)   Any owner of real property having fewer separate metered water connections than the final number of proposed parcels after the split, shall do the following:
      (1)   Designate to the Safety and Service Director the parcel or parcels to be associated with each of the existing water and sewer connections;
      (2)   Completely eliminate all water and sewer service, plumbing and fixtures to any parcels which will be lawfully uninhabited and unplumbed after the split; and
      (3)   Plumb, install necessary fixtures, and purchase and install a separate metered connection and a separate curb stop for all other parcels not designated for existing service or completely separated from water and sewer service from the city.
   (C)   The City Attorney may seek an injunction against any real property transfers in violation of this section, and the Safety and Service Director shall terminate all water and sewer services to all parcels split in violation of this section, in addition to any other remedy allowed by law.
   (D)   The Safety and Service Director shall have the authority to inspect each parcel of any property split and verify the status of the property or properties to ensure compliance with this section. Any property owner who refuses to permit an inspection required by the city shall be deemed to be noncompliant and prosecuted accordingly.
