No person shall construct, connect or repair any sanitary sewer or construct or repair any sewer drain connection with a City storm sewer or inlet, or do any work in connection therewith, unless he has secured a license from the City Engineer, which license shall be for a period extending from the date of issuance to December 31st of the same year, upon payment of a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00), and bond in the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), executed by a surety company doing business in Ohio, conditioned that they indemnify the City from all loss or damage that may be occasioned or caused by the want of care, skill or attention on the part of the person obtaining the permit in the installation of such work. The bond shall be approved by the Law Director and the Mayor and filed in the Auditor's Office.
Homeowners may repair and/or install sanitary sewer laterals, on the condition that they obtain a sewer permit, and subsequently have the work inspected, subject to the same standards as a licensed contractor. In the event damage occurs during this work and the homeowner refuses to correct the problem, the City will make the necessary repairs and put a lien on the property for the cost of these repairs. In addition, the City may also cease providing water and/or sewer service until the problem is corrected.
