A.
All costs and expenses incident to the installation
and connection of a building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The
owner shall indemnify the City for any loss or damage that may directly
or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of a building sewer.
In addition to the initial construction of a building sewer, the owner
is also obligated to pay all costs and expenses of operation, repair,
maintenance and reconstruction of both the building sewer and the
building drain.
B.
The City retains the right to levy sewer rentals to
provide for the construction, operation, maintenance, management and
replacement of the publicly owned treatment works.
A.
A separate and independent private building sewer
shall be provided for every building on an individual lot. Any lot
legally containing more than one building may have a private sewer
servicing the buildings upon that lot.
B.
The Board of Public Works may authorize a private
sewer servicing more than one lot when in the opinion of the Board,
such an arrangement is in the best interest of the City and to require
separate sewers would result in significant impracticality. Such authorization
may be conditioned upon such other reasonable requirements as the
Board of Public Works or corporation counsel may impose.
Old building sewers may be used in connection
with new buildings only when they are found, on examination and testing
by the City Engineer, to meet all current requirements or if they
can be upgraded to meet the current requirements of this chapter.
