§ 74-191. Maintenance of facilities by city.

All reclaimed water facilities constructed on city property, city right-of-way, or within dedicated utility easements that have been accepted by the city shall become the property of the city and will be operated and maintained by the city. No person shall do any work or be reimbursed for any work or in connection with any work on the system unless written authorization from the city is received prior to the work being accomplished. The city shall make a reasonable effort to inspect and keep its facilities in good repair but assumes no liability for any damage caused by the system that is beyond the control of normal maintenance or due to situations not previously reported to the utilities department. This shall include damage to pipes, poor quality of water caused by unauthorized or illegal entry of foreign material into the system, faulty operation of fire protection facilities or other reasons. The city's maintenance responsibility shall end at the city-owned reclaimed water meter.
