13.16.100: INSTALLATION AND EXTENSION OF SEWER MAINS:
   A.   Whenever any person develops or builds upon any property within the City and the City requires the extension and installation of sewer mains to serve the property, all costs associated with the extension and installation shall be borne by the person seeking to build or develop. After final acceptance as set forth below, all such sewer mains and appurtenances shall be deemed a part of the sanitary sewer and shall be maintained by the City.
   B.   All such sewer main extensions and installations shall be located in dedicated public right-of-way areas and shall extend the full length of the frontage of the property being served. The Superintendent may require or allow sewer mains to be installed in utility easements if he deems it necessary for the good of the sanitary sewer. All sewer main extensions/installations shall conform in all respects to the standards, specifications, and material requirements set forth by the City.
   C.   No such installation shall be deemed complete until inspected, approved, and accepted by the Superintendent for maintenance by the City; provided, however, that final acceptance shall not occur until the installation has shown two (2) years of satisfactory service after approval. The person developing or building shall be required to maintain, repair, and/or alter the installation until such final acceptance is obtained. Thereafter, the sewer mains shall be considered to have been dedicated to the City by said person as part of the sanitary sewer and shall be maintained by the City.
   D.   All sewer main extensions and appurtenant equipment which have been installed in private roadways or property shall be and remain the private property of the persons, their heirs, successors or assigns, owning said property, and shall be maintained by them, unless a specific written agreement with the City makes other provisions. Provided, however, that the Superintendent may authorize repair or maintenance work on private sections only in an emergency situation where the public welfare may be endangered. (Ord. 2836 § 1, 2008)
