Section 15.26.080   Responsibility of owner.
   A.   Except as provided in the following paragraph 2, the owner of the property to which storm sewer service is supplied shall be responsible for installing, repairing and maintaining, at the owner's expense, all drains, connections and fittings for the building sewer connections into the public sewer systems.
   B.   All repairs to that portion of the main public sewer line or pipe encompassed within its outer circumference shall be made by and at the expense of the Village. All repairs to the building sewer, including that portion of the connection, "Y," or "T" lying outside of the outer circumference of the main public sewer line or pipe, shall be made by and at the expense of the owner of the premises served. Where the depth of a portion of the building sewer requiring repair under a public right-of-way exceeds 12 feet below grade, repairs shall require the inspection and approval of the Village Engineer prior to the commencement of and at the completion of any repair work, and the Village shall reimburse the owner of the premises served 50% of the reasonable and customary cost of the below grade sewer repair work approved by the Village Engineer. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the owner of the premises served shall in all circumstances be responsible for the entire cost of surface restoration required as the result of any repair work.
   C.   In the event that a failure develops or occurs in that portion of the building sewer to be maintained by the owner of the premises, the Village may close the public water service valve and discontinue the service of water to the premises until the required repairs are made to the defective portion of the building sewer by the owner of the premises.
