(A) Permit and bond. A permit for conduction and convection of the extension between a building drain and the sewer main or stub, herein called the building sewer, or between the building water service pipes and a water main or stub shall be issued only upon application pursuant to this chapter.
(B) Liability insurance. Before undertaking the construction work authorized by the permit, the plumber shall secure and maintain a policy of insurance against damages to property or injury or death to persons. The policy shall indemnify and save harmless the city and its personnel against any claim, damages, or cause of action arising out of the work and from any expenses of defending the same. The property damage insurance coverage shall be in the amount of at least $25,000 and the public liability damage for injury or death shall be in the amount of at least $200,000 per claimant and $600,000 for any number of claims per occurrence. Proof of such insurance shall be filed with the city prior to construction work and such policy shall provide that the city shall be notified immediately of any termination or modification of such insurance. If the insurance coverage is inadequate in amount, the master plumber shall indemnify and save harmless the city and its personnel in like manner.
(C) Apportionment of costs. The owner shall bear the costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer or extension of water service to private property. He shall indemnify the city for any loss or damage directly or indirectly caused by its installation and connection. To the extent it deems necessary, the Council may establish rules and regulations for the proper implementation of these requirements which, when approved by the Council by resolution, shall govern the installation and connection of building sewers and extension of water service to private property.
