Sacramento Municipal Code Art. IV Construction of Sewer and

Any person requesting city sewer service or city storm drain service to premises that are not served by a city sewer main or storm drain main, shall apply to the director for permission to install the sewer or storm drain facilities necessary to extend the city sewer system or storm drain system to provide sewer or storm drain service to the property(ies). The application shall contain plans and specifications for the proposed sewer or storm drain facilities that shall conform to the stand-ard specifications and such other requirements as may be established by the city and the department. (Ord. 2005-020 § 2)

If the director approves the application, the applicant may cause the sewer or storm drain facilities to be installed either by private contract or by another procedure acceptable to the director. The foregoing approval may be made by the director's approval of tentative subdivision map conditions and subsequent improvement plans, and shall be in addition to any other approvals required for installation of the facilities and/or any other requirements or conditions imposed by the city under any other provision of this code. All costs associated with the design and installation of the facilities shall be the responsibility of the applicant. (Ord. 2005-020 § 2)

The director shall have the right to inspect all work performed, and all work must be approved by the director before any sewer or storm drain facilities may be connected to the city sewer system or to the storm drain system. After the director issues a notice of completion, all sewer or storm drain mains and related facilities constructed "downstream" of the service connection(s) shall become the property of the city. (Ord. 2005-020 § 2)

In addition to other applicable conditions and requirements:

A. The applicant shall unconditionally warrant and guaranty all material, equipment and workmanship provided for installation of the city sewer or storm drain facilities for one year after the date of the director's notice of completion. Any or all such work, material or equipment that fails or proves defective in workmanship or material at any time within the one year warranty period shall be repaired or replaced by the applicant at no cost to the city. If the applicant fails to comply (or commence the work necessary for compliance) with the conditions of this warranty within ten (10) working days after being notified by the city in writing of a defect, city shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to repair, or cause to be repaired, the defect, and the applicant shall reimburse the city for all costs and expense of the repair. If the director determines that any defect covered by this warranty results in a condition that constitutes an imminent hazard to the public health, safety or welfare, or to the environment or any property interest, or to any person, the city shall have the right to immediately repair or cause to be repaired the defect, and the applicant shall pay all costs incurred by the city to do so.

B. The applicant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the city, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers and employees from and against any and all actions, claims, damages, costs (including reasonable attorney fees), or other liability of any nature, arising from any negligent or wrongful act or omission by the applicant, its officers, employees, representatives, contractors or agents in connection with the design and/or installation of the sewer or storm drain facilities.
