§ 40-289. Maintenance; inspection.

(a)

The permittee shall maintain his facility in a good and safe condition and repair at all times. The permittee shall assume all risk of loss or damage to the facility, and neither the city nor any other person shall have any obligation to replace or repair the same under any circumstances.

(b)

The director, the city engineer, the health officer, the utility official, the parks official, or any other inspector designated by the city shall have the right to inspect any facility at any time without the necessity of prior notice. Upon at least one hour's notice given during regular hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, holidays excepted) the permittee shall open the facility and make a sample of the well contents available to the health officer.

(c)

The director may notify the permittee in writing of any deficiency under this article in the physical condition of any facility and shall afford the permittee a reasonable period of time to correct the same. In determining the length of time to be allowed the director shall consider the danger, if any, which is posed by the deficiencies and the nature of the changes or repairs required. In the event that the director is of the opinion that the continued existence of the facility will constitute a significant threat to the safety of the public pending its repair, he may order it removed at once.
