Kingdom City Customer Service Lines; Location of Meters; Variance ordinance (§ 700.250)
Chapter 700: Water Regulations · Article VI. Provisions Relevant To All Utilities
In short: Customers pay for their own water and sewer service lines, including installation and upkeep, and the Village must approve the work before it's covered up. The Village installs and maintains the water line from the main to the curb or property line, but the customer maintains the sewer line from the main to the property line.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
A. Water. Service lines shall be connected to the Village water main at a customer's curb or property line when the main exists. The Village shall install and maintain that section between the main and this point of connection. Where the Village has authorized a meter inside of a structure, there shall be installed a cutoff valve at the property line and the customer shall maintain the line from the cutoff to the meter.
B. Sewer. Building sewers shall be connected at a customer curb or property line when the main exists. The building sewer between the main and the property line shall be installed and maintained at the customer's expense.
C. Costs. The cost for customer service lines and their installation and maintenance shall be borne by the customer. In addition, any such installation or maintenance shall be approved by the Village prior to its being obscured from view.
