WHEREIN THE SEWER LINES ARE EITHER CLOGGED OR DAMAGED DUE TO THE MAPLE TREES PLANTED IN FRONT OF OR IN THE REAR OF EACH HOME. EACH INCIDENT THE CITY AND WATER DEPARTMENT IS CALLED TO INVESTIGATE AND RESIDENTS ARE TOLD IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.

THE CITY OWNS ALL UNDERGROUND MINERAL AND UNDERGROUND INFRASTUCTURE, UNLESS IT IS DIRECTLY BENEATH YOUR PERSONAL DWELLING.
