Property Maintenance Code FAQ: Property owners are responsible for maintaining their house and yards to safety and appearance standards. Homeowners are expected to fix items such as peeling paint, hanging gutters, broken porch steps, damaged roofs and broken windows.
Your responsibilities as a homeowner for water and sewer lines from the street:
- Keep the area of your residence where your meter is located free of vegetation to facilitate the meter being read.
- Maintain the water line from the shut off to your residence and within your home. Do not let your meter freeze in the winter.
- Maintain the sewer lateral line from your residence to the main.
Call the Department of Public Works if you are having any issue with your sewer line so that we can help determine the cause and location. If it is a system problem with the main line it is the City's responsibility to fix it. If it's determined to be a lateral issue it is the resident's responsibility to repair it.
Do not store the following outside your home:
- Interior furniture
- Unlicensed vehicles
- Garbage (not in appropriate containers)
- Construction debris
