§ 1141.09. Maintenance deposits.  


Latest version.
  • Upon application to construct a private sanitary sewer the owner thereof shall deposit with the city a maintenance deposit to cover the cost of maintenance/ repairs performed by city maintenance personnel while the sewer remains under private ownership. The maintenance deposit may take the form of a cash deposit, an escrow agreement acceptable to the city, or any other form acceptable to the city. Any monies not charged to the maintenance deposit account will be refunded to the owner when final dedication to the city has occurred. The maintenance deposit shall be calculated in the following manner:

    A.

    Minimum deposit of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) per lineal feet of pipe plus fifty dollars ($50.00) per manhole.

    B.

    Maximum deposit of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).

    For projects that are constructed in phases, each phase will be considered a separate project. An exception to this requirement is when the owner constructs all phases under one construction inspection deposit and the project phases will be finaled simultaneously. Any maintenance charges that surpass the maintenance deposit amount will be billed to the sewer owner and final dedication will be delayed until those charges are satisfied.
