The property owner shall maintain all drainage easements and rights-of-way located on the property owner’s property including those drainage easements and rights-of-way conveyed to the city. Maintenance of a drainage easement or right-of-way includes the abatement of a nuisance existing in or on the drainage easement or right-of-way. At the city’s discretion, the city may maintain a drainage easement or right-of-way itself instead of requiring the property owner to maintain the drainage easement or right-of-way. The city may recoup the cost of maintaining the drainage easement or right-of-way only after the city requests that property owner maintain the drainage easement or right-of-way, in accordance with section 6.05.003 below, the property owner fails to comply, and the city maintains the drainage easement or right-of-way.
(Ordinance 03102015 adopted 3/10/15)
Duly authorized inspectors of the city shall have the right of entry on the land or premises where property owners are required to maintain drainage easements or rights-of-way, at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspection of the maintenance required.
(Ordinance 03102015 adopted 3/10/15)
Where noncompliance is found, the city shall request in writing that the property owner comply. This notice shall describe the measures required to be taken. If the required maintenance is not accomplished within ninety (90) days of the notice, the city shall either:
(1) 
Cause the necessary maintenance to be accomplished and assess the property owner for the city’s actual cost; or
(2) 
Bring an action for mandatory injunction to require the property owner to accomplish the necessary maintenance.
