(A) Building or house sewer connections on the consumer’s premises shall be so arranged as to provide service to one (1) lot; except as otherwise provided, no sewer system shall be placed upon any lot other than that for which the permit was issued. If additional service is required it will be considered as a separate and individual account.

(B) The consumer’s house or building service line, sewer connection and apparatus shall be installed and maintained by the consumer, at the consumer’s expense, in a safe and efficient manner and in accordance with the city’s rules and regulations and in full compliance with the regulations of the state. No use of property shall be such as to decrease accessibility by the city to its utility lines. Consumers, by applying for hookup, consent to city rights to egress and ingress.

(C) The consumer shall safeguard the city’s property placed on the consumer’s premises and shall permit access to it only by the authorized representatives of the city.

(D) In the event that any loss or damage to the property of the city or any accident or injury to persons or property is caused by or results from the negligence or wrongful act of the consumer, his agents or employees, the cost of necessary repairs or replacements shall be paid by the consumer to the city and any liability otherwise resulting shall be assumed by the consumer. The amount of such loss or damage or the cost of repairs may be added to the consumer’s bill and if not paid, service may be discontinued by the city.

(E) When service to a consumer shall require the laying of any city sewer lines or the installation of any other city property on, under, across or over the consumer’s property, the consumer will grant to the city an easement, right-of-way, or license for such installation.
