§ 34-95. Abandonment of service lines and water mains.

(a)

The City Manager may cause the removal or abandonment of any unused service line when its further need is not apparent and when in the City Manager's judgment removal is appropriate to reduce leakage or future maintenance responsibility. Subsequent service to the properties that would have been served by the unused line shall be treated as a new service.

(b)

Within 90 days of the date of written notice from the city, customers shall connect at their expense to the new meter location provided at the customer's property line where a new water main is constructed to serve the property and there is an abandonment of the existing water main.
