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 a point ten feet (10') beyond the street or alley right of way line or sewer easement line shall be installed by the City or a licensed public works contractor at the expense of the person or firm desiring sewer service, but thereafter the sewer service line within the public right of way or easement shall be maintained by the sewer department at its expense and kept within and under its exclusive control and jurisdiction.
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 on 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 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 Public Works Director or his designated agent, it is in the City's best interest to have or allow said sewer service lines to be installed by other than City personnel.
All sewer users shall keep their individual sewer service lines in good repair and shall keep them in such good condition that they shall not allow excessive amounts of groundwater to enter into the sewer system. (Ord. 543, 5-5-2009; amd. Ord. 2021-621, 9-2-2021)
