No building sewer shall be covered until it has been inspected
and approved by the City of Laconia. If any part of a building sewer
is covered before so being inspected and approved, it shall be uncovered
for the inspection at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved
property to be connected to the public sewer.
Every building sewer of any improved property shall be maintained
in a sanitary and safe operating condition by the owner of such improved
property.
Every excavation for a building sewer shall be guarded adequately
with barricades and lights to protect all persons from damage and
injury. Streets, sidewalks and other public property disturbed in
the course of the work on a building sewer shall be restored, at the
cost and expense of the owner of the improved property being served,
in a manner satisfactory to the City.
If any person shall fail or refuse, upon receipt of a notice
from the City of Laconia in writing, to remedy any unsatisfactory
condition with respect to a building sewer within 45 days of receipt
of such notice, the City of Laconia may remedy any unsatisfactory
condition with respect to a building sewer and may collect from the
owner the costs and expenses thereof by such legal proceedings as
may be provided by law. The City shall have full authority to enter
on the owner's property to do whatever is necessary to remedy the
unsatisfactory condition.
The City reserves the right to adopt, from time to time, additional
rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and proper relating
to connections with a public sewer and the sewer system, which additional
rules and regulations to the extent appropriate, shall become a part
of these regulations.
