If it is determined that there is a broken lateral who is responsible for the cost of the repair?

If upon excavation, it is determined that the pipe is broken anywhere from the property line in to the building, the cost and responsibility to arrange the repair belongs to the property owner. A repair permit must be secured from us first. If upon excavation, it is determined that the pipe is broken between the property line and the mainline sewer, then the cost and responsibility for the repair belongs to the Authority.
