(A) When a water service lateral freezes, it is the sole responsibility of the property owner to thaw the service lateral from the house or building to the main. Any cost resulting from the thawing of these frozen water lines will be paid by the owner.
(B) If a water service lateral has a tendency to freeze, it is the owner’s responsibility to let the water “drip” to prevent any freeze-ups. The city does not allow a credit on water used during the period in which the water “drips,” but will install a water bypass if it deems necessary at the city’s expense.
