Every property owner shall be responsible for the maintenance and good condition of any lateral sewer branch connecting his or her premises with a village sewer. Where part of the lateral branch, within the limits of a dedicated street, has been laid under public contract in connection with a street paving improvement under village supervision and inspection, and is later found to have been improperly constructed, the village shall, at its own expense, make the necessary repair or reconstruction of the lateral branch or part thereof and correct the condition caused by the improper construction. In the event that, by reason of a defective private sewer connection, damage shall be occasioned to a village street, or to street or sidewalk paving, the Mayor shall notify the property owner to repair the defect and damage. On receipt of notice, the property owner or a representative shall apply at the Mayor’s office for the necessary permit and shall make the required deposit for the street opening. If the property owner fails, within seven days after the issue of notice, to make the required application for a street opening permit, the village shall begin repairing the sewer connection and restoring the street and pavement, and shall charge the cost thereof, including permit fee, to the owner. Notice required by this section may be served on the property owner personally, by mail, or by delivery to any occupying lessee or tenant, if the owner does not reside on the premises.
