A. User's Responsibility: All users shall have the responsibility of, and be liable for, and shall pay for, all costs and expenses of maintaining their own sewer lines extending from their property until such sewer lines pass the vertical plane of the user's property line or until they reach city sewer lines, whichever point is reached last. This liability of the user shall include the entire sewer service connection apparatus and plumbing equipment and materials.
B. City's Responsibility: The city's end point of liability for maintenance shall be at such point as the city service line connects to the user's sewer service connection, and not thereafter, with the user having complete responsibility for the sewer service connection to the city sewer lines.
C. Construction Of Section: This section shall not be construed to be in conflict with section 9-2-5 of this chapter which states that no person shall be allowed to dig into the street, alley, sidewalk or easement beneath which the lateral and trunk line sewers run or tap into any such lateral or trunk line in any manner without the city's direction and authorization, in that such person shall still have to contact the city to obtain its permission to perform work within the street, alley, sidewalk or easement for which the user is liable.
