Leak Reporting Duty
When a new building sewer tap into Lexington-Fayette's public sanitary sewer is smoke tested and inspected by the Division of Engineering before backfill, any leak the inspection turns up is not the urban county government's problem to fix. Code of Ordinances § 16-41 puts repair squarely on the property owner, and backfill cannot proceed until the leak is corrected and the connection passes.
