(A) Sewers must be maintained in reasonable repair so that they are reasonably safe and do not cause a hazard to health or safety of the public. No owner shall permit any sewer which services his or her property to fall into a state of disrepair or be unsafe or hazardous to health or property.
(B) If any owner of land shall fail or neglect to keep any sewer along the front, rear or side of land owned by him or her so that it is reasonably safe, he or she shall be liable to the city for any damages recovered against the city by any person by reason of such sewer being in a condition of disrepair or otherwise unsafe. This liability of the property owner shall exist even if the property owner does not receive any prior notice from the city to repair the sewer abutting his or her property as set forth in § 170.132 of this chapter.
