(A) All water and sewer mains constructed and connected with the facilities of the city pursuant to this chapter shall be conveyed to and become the property of the city upon completion and acceptance by the city. Connection to the system and acceptance by the city shall constitute dedication of water or sewer main extension by the person responsible for the extension. However, connection to the system shall not be permitted unless and until the lines have been constructed and connected in compliance with all applicable state and city regulations and requirements.
(B) Following dedication as provided in subsection (A) above, the city shall have exclusive control of all water or sewer lines and shall be responsible for their maintenance, repair and operation. However, the conveyor of additions to the system shall guarantee the entire project against defective material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of completion and acceptance of the project, including such incidental damages as may arise from such claims.
