§ 110-82. Maintenance.

(a)

The property owner and customer shall be responsible for the maintenance of all irrigation lines and appurtenances on the property served by the county under this article. The county reserves the right to disconnect the service to any property that does not maintain the system. In addition, should the customer require reclaimed water at different pressures or different quality or in any way different from that normally supplied by the county, he shall be responsible for the necessary devices to make these adjustments and obtain approval from the director.

(b)

The county 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 services branch. This shall include damage due to breaking of 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.

(c)

All facilities that have been accepted by the county shall become the property of the county and will be operated and maintained by the county. No person shall perform any work or be reimbursed for any work or in connection with any work on the system unless written authorization from the county is received prior to the work being accomplished.
