All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the city from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer.
The building sewer connecting the drains, plumbing fixtures, or like drainage devices of any type whatsoever to the public sewer system, regardless of the size or use of such building sewer, shall be deemed to be owned by the owner or the real property on which such drains, fixtures or devices are located, unless the owner can show otherwise by a recordable written instrument establishing ownership of the line in another party; and the city in no instance shall be deemed owner of such sewer by virtue of the line’s connection to the public sewer system or the circumstances of the original installation of the building sewer. (Ord. O-19-93, 1993; prior code § 4-1-23)
