Service lines and connections to lateral sewers and connections to sewer system shall be constructed in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Authority.
No service line or connection to a lateral sewer or connection to sewer system shall be covered until the same has been inspected and approved by the Authority. If any part of a service line or connection to a lateral sewer is covered before being so inspected and approved, such service line or such connection shall be uncovered for inspection, at the request of the Authority, at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property to be served through such service line.
Every service line shall be maintained in a sanitary and safe operating condition by the owner of the improved property served. Whenever the Authority or this municipality has reason to believe any service line has become defective, such service line shall be subject to test and inspection. Defects found upon such inspection shall be corrected as required by the Authority or this municipality at the cost and expense of such owner.
