BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS.
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The City of Denton, recognizing that certain changes are needed
in the policies of operating the sewer utility as part of the
Denton Municipal Utility System, does hereby adopt the following
operating policy:
1. On all new sewer services, the City of Denton will make the
sewer tap and extend sewer line to back of curb. It shall
be the responsibility of the property owner to have installed
the service line from the curb to the building.
2. The property owner shall be responsible for the maintenance
of the service line from the building to the main sewer line
in the street or alley except that the City will make neces-
sary adjustments to these lines when required because of
street or utility construction or reconstruction or in the
c&se of damage to the service lines caused by street or
utility construction. The City will replace sewer line to
back of curb if damaged or defective.
3. In the event stoppage takes place in the service line between
the sewer main and the building it shall be the responsibility
of the property owner to remove the cause of the stoppage. If
the stoppage in the service line causes damage to the property
because of overflow or for any other reason, the City shall
not be responsible for this damage unless the City was re-
sponsible for the stoppage.
4. In the event a stoppage in a sewer main results in damage to
private property, the City of Denton will reimburse the owner
for the damage through negotiation based on the depreciated
value of the damaged property plus cost of repairs. However,
since certain areas are more prone to this type of occurrence
than others, reimbursement by the City for damages will be
made to the property owner onetime only. After the first
occurrence it is the policy of the City that it is the obli-
gation of the property owner to secure insurance covering
this type damage or install devices to prevent future occur-
rences or assume full responsibility for damages. Compensation
shall be paid for property damages only, and shall not be
paid for intangible items.
