Upon notification or discovery of any damaged, leaking, or defective service lateral, curb-stop, water valve, or clean out, the Town shall notify the property owner and cause such device to be repaired. If the Town conducts the repair, the cost of such repair plus 10% to cover administrative costs shall be billed to the property owner served by the device. All repairs within the Town right-of-way and easements shall comply to Chapter
160, Application and Permits, of this Code.
The property owner shall not be responsible for repairing damaged
water and sewer lines where such damage is caused by negligence of
the Town or its authorized agent.
The Town will test water meters should a customer request to
do so; but if the meter is found to be correct, the customer will
be charged at a rate set by Town Council resolution for such testing.
If the meter is found to be faulty and giving incorrect readings,
the Town will waive the testing fee, the meter will be replaced by
the Town and the Town will adjust the bill for the previous use period
to reflect the minimum charge of the base rate only.
