7-2-7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR:
   A.   Persons taking village water shall do so at their own expense and must keep all pipes, stopcocks and fixtures in good repair. The buffalo or shutoff box, connections, village cock, valves and service pipes shall be furnished, installed and maintained, in perpetuity, by and at the expense of the customer, as shall all labor for trenching, pushing or backfilling from the buffalo or shutoff box to premises being served. No reduction from any water bill shall be made on account of any leak in any pipes or fixtures. All repairs for or replacement of the buffalo or shutoff box to the premises being served shall be made by and at the expense of the owner of the premises served. The village may, in case of emergency, repair any service pipes and assess the cost of such repair against the owner of the premises served.
   B.   In the event that any water meter or service pipe becomes frozen between the curb stop and the premises, it shall be thawed at the expense of the property owner. Should the village be required to perform thawing of a frozen water meter or service pipe located between the curb stop and the premises, the property owner shall reimburse the village the actual expenses for the time and material incurred in the repair, but in no case shall said charge be less than fifty dollars ($50.00). Any charges levied under this section are subject to the payment and delinquency provisions of section 7-2-10 of this chapter. (Ord. 2008-09, 9-25-2008)
