When a permit for a sewer service line (side sewer) has been granted, the sewer tap at the sewer main and the sewer service line from the sewer main to the private property line shall be installed by the city. Thereafter, the sewer service line shall be maintained at the expense of the property owner receiving the sewer service. All sewer service lines (side sewers) within any public rights-of-way or easements shall be constructed by the city; except that sewer service lines in any new subdivisions may be installed as part of the construction of the new sewer collection system within said subdivision; and provided, further, that said service lines are constructed, inspected, tested and certified as being in conformance with the city, federal and state standard drawings and standard specifications governing the construction of sewer service lines. Sewer service lines may also be installed by contract in conjunction with city-sponsored projects or when, in the opinion of the Superintendent of Public Works, it is in the city’s best interests to have or allow said sewer service lines to be installed other than by city personnel.
