The inspection, servicing, testing and repair of all private fire hydrants shall be the sole responsibility of the owner of the property where the private fire hydrant is located. The term "service" or "servicing" shall mean and include repainting external surfaces and hydrant identification numbers, to clear away weeds, shrubs and other accumulations of vegetation, to lubricate operating nuts and stems, and to replace nozzle caps, chains and gaskets. Without affecting the property owner's responsibility therefor, the director may authorize officers, employees, agents or contractors of the city to inspect, service, test and/or repair private fire hydrants and the property owner shall be required to pay such fee(s) for these services as may be established from time to time by resolution of the city council. Whether or not inspection, servicing, testing or repair is performed by a property owner or the city, the property owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the city, its officers and employees from any claims, actions, costs (including attorney fees), damages or other liability resulting or arising from the condition of, or any failure to inspect, service, test or repair, any private fire hydrant located on the owner's property.
