Kingdom City Responsibility of Property Owner to Maintain ordinance (§ 700.570)

The owner and occupier of any house, building or other structure which has such structure connected to either a public sanitary, combined sewer or other private sewage disposal system shall be responsible for maintaining, at his, her or its expense, the pipes or other sewer connection running from such structure to the public sanitary, Combined Sewer or Private Sewage Disposal System (the "Sewer Connection Facilities"). Where the Village becomes aware of a leak appearing in the sewer connection facilities, the Village shall give such owner and/or occupier of the property written notice thereof and such person shall immediately proceed to repair such sewer connection facilities. If such repair is not made within a reasonable time following such notice, as set forth in the notice, the Village may discontinue water service to the property. However, if in the judgment of the Village, any leak in the sewer connection facilities is of such a nature as to endanger public safety or welfare or constitute a nuisance or is the source of waste of any considerable amount of water, the Village may cut off or discontinue such service without providing prior notice to the owner or occupier. However, the Village will undertake to provide such notice as soon as reasonably possible after cutting off such service.
