With Alderman Carstens voting "no- Alderman Buckner voting "present" the council disclaimed responsibility for "cleaning, maintaining, and repairing" sewer lines between the mains and private buildings. Characterizing the present sewer system as "inadequate," the ordinance explained that the city was abandoning attempts to maintain connections for residents because of "the poor financial condition of the city." The city has had no official position regarding sewer connections in the past, and in some Instances has cleaned lines at the city expense and in others lias required that the property owners bear the cost.

The ordinance defined "connection" as "any part of the sewer system connecting to or. with the main sewer system usually in the middle of the street." It further provided that lateral systems constructed by property owners and "not accepted as part of the general sewer system" must be maintained by the property owners. City employes are enjoined by the ordinance from loaning city equipment for sewer repair, and property owners are warned that permission of the city must be procured for work that will disrupt traffic on the city streets.
