It is unlawful to construct, extend, relay, repair or to make connection to any sewer or drain inside the property line without obtaining a permit from the City Engineer as provided in Section 13.04.110. The City Engineer may issue the permit to the owner or occupant of any property to construct, extend, relay, repair or make connection to any private sewer or drain inside the property lines; provided, the owner or occupant shall comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter, except that he need not employ a licensed side sewer contractor to do the work. Should the owner or occupant employ a licensed side sewer contractor to do the work, the contractor shall take the permit in his own name and the owner, occupant or any other person shall lay no pipe on the contractor’s permit.

It is unlawful to leave unguarded any excavation made in connection with the construction or repair of any side sewer or private drain within four feet of any public place or to fail to maintain the lateral support of any public place in connection with the construction, alteration or repair of any side sewer or drain. (Ord. 208 § 9, 1957).
