All property owners are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the pipes and plumbing from the meter to and on their property. Where such meter is located within the building of the owner, the owner shall be responsible for the service line from the curb stop to the meter. The owner shall keep all service lines in good repair to prevent waste or leakage of water, and shall be liable for and indemnify the city for all costs and damages which may accrue to the city by reason of their failure to do so. It is the responsibility of the property owner to identify leaks in his or her systems, and have them promptly repaired. It is the equal responsibility of the city to maintain the meter and its service tap and to keep its mainline in repair.
