Each property owner shall be responsible for the cost of installation
of water lines connecting the water meter to the Village water main
and shall further be responsible for maintenance and repair of all
lines connecting the Village water main with the water meter.
Any leak or breakage in the line between the Village water main
and the meter shall be repaired by the property owner and at the property
owner's sole cost and expense. Upon written notice of such a
leak or breakage to the property owner by the Village, the property
owner must repair such leak or breakage within 10 days from the date
of such notice. Should the property owner fail to so repair such leak
or breakage within such ten-day period, the Village of Monticello
shall have the right to cause such repairs to be made and to enter
upon the property owner's lands for the purpose of making such
repairs. All costs to the Village and all charges for materials and
labor shall be paid by the property owner to the Village upon submission
by the Village of a bill for such charges. Should the property owner
fail to pay such charges within the current fiscal year when such
recharges are made, such charges shall be payable, collectible and
enforceable in the manner provided by law for the payment, collection
and enforcement of annual Village taxes in the Village of Monticello,
and, if unpaid on the grace date therefor, shall constitute a lien
upon the real property, and such lien shall be proper and superior
to every other lien or claim except a lien of an existing tax, water
charge or local assessment.
