(A) All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the town from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
(B) All costs and expenses incident to the repair and maintenance of a sewer lateral shall be borne by the owner. If more than one owner shares a common sewer lateral, each owner shall share the expenses incident to the repair and maintenance of the shared sewer lateral. If excavation of any town street is required to repair or maintain a sewer lateral, the owner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses to repair the affected portions of the street to comply with the minimum requirements of the town.
(C) All fees or expenses incurred by the town for the maintenance and repair of any sewage lateral shall be reimbursed to the town by the owner within 30 days said fees or expenses are incurred. Any fees or expenses incurred on the owner’s behalf and not reimbursed to the town within the designated time frame shall constitute a lien on behalf of the town upon the owner’s real property as permitted under I.C. 36-9-23-32. Said lien on real property does not limit the town from exercising any other remedy to which it would be entitled to collect as permitted by law.
