90.12 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN

When any portion of the water service pipe which is the responsibility of the property owner becomes defective or creates a nuisance and the owner fails to correct such defect or nuisance the City may do so and assess the costs thereof to the property. Any leak or other defect in the service line shall be promptly repaired by the owner. If not repaired promptly, the water may, after written notice to the owner, be turned off by the City until such repairs have been made.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
