Whenever a house connection is obstructed or found to be broken or defective so that sewage escapes therefrom into surrounding soil or adjacent premises, repair or replacement may be ordered by the Director of Public Works or his or her representative. The repair shall be at the expense of the owner or person in control of the property. When a part of a house connection is found to be broken or broken into, the break or leak shall be properly repaired by replacing the broken part with a corresponding new part. Patching of a break or leak is prohibited.
