No person shall cause a pool of water or any standing water to be in or upon any street, sidewalk, alley or other public ground, or throw, or let flow, or deposit any water in or upon the same, so as to cause the same to be wet, muddy, slippery or otherwise dangerous or obnoxious. Nor shall any person permit water to flow, run or trickle from any premises, buildings or grounds owned or occupied by him or her so as to cause any sidewalk, alley, street or other public ground or any part thereof to become wet, muddy, slippery or otherwise inconvenient, dangerous or obnoxious. This section shall not be construed to interfere with the proper extinguishment of fires, or the use of water in any manner in other cases of like necessity, nor with proper irrigation of tree lines in the city.
