(A) Financial Assistance. Financial assistance in the form of partial reimbursement for the cost of disconnecting prohibited infiltration and inflow sources shall be provided to persons who receive and comply with a Disconnect Order as described in Section 13.28.090. Such reimbursement shall be in the amount and subject to the terms set out in this section.
(B) Procedure.
(1) Upon verification by the Administrative Agency that a prohibited private sector infiltration or inflow connection exists and is cost-effective to remove or repair, the agency shall issue a Disconnect Order to the landowner.
(2) The owner shall comply with the order by having the work done by a plumbing or other approved competent contractor, through self-help or other means at his or her discretion.
(3) All work shall be done in a workmanlike manner and shall comply with the minimum standards of design for such device, structure, appurtenance or connection.
(4) After the disconnection is completed, the agency shall reinspect the premises to verify compliance with the Disconnect Order and verify that there are no other illegal connections.
(5) If compliance with this chapter is verified, the City shall reimburse half (1/2) of the actual cost but not to exceed the following maximum amounts payable per source based on a valid invoice. If the property owner completes the work, only the cost of materials will be reimbursed.
(6) Acceptance of reimbursement shall constitute a consent by the person accepting such payment to a reinspection of the premises by the agency within one year following payment for the sole purpose of verifying continued compliance with this chapter. Such reinspection shall be done at a convenient time. (Ord. 90-14 § 1, 1990.)
