(a) Driveways shall have only eighteen feet of tile, except for those already established. T drains may be required in these locations at the discretion of the City Engineer.
(b) Tile shall be ten to twelve inches in diameter as established by the City Engineer.
(c) Tile shall be of reinforced concrete or steel for homes hereafter constructed.
(d) Corrugated steel pipe or regular concrete pipe is acceptable for new and existing residences.
(e) Tile shall be laid at a depth and grade established by the City Engineer.
(f) Faulty or inadequate tile will be replaced at the discretion of the Department of Public Services and the City Engineer.
(g) The City Engineer and the Department of Public Services may order any faulty or inadequate tile to be replaced when it is so determined by them to be necessary. This shall be done by serving upon the owner, occupant or owner's agent of the property affected a notice, in writing, to replace and repair any such inadequate tile within ten days from the date of notice. Otherwise, the same will be done by the City and the cost thereof will be charged to the owner of the property. If the owner refuses or fails to pay the same, the City shall have all legal remedies available to it to collect the same.
