Legal Documents of Gatlinburg

The sewers are constructed for the purpose of transporting sewage, not storm water. Every customer of the sewerage system shall be responsible for the integrity of the pipes on his property which connect to the sewerage system. If it is determined that the pipes owned by the customer are faulty or in a bad state of repair, such that extraneous storm water can enter the sewerage system, or sewerage is escaping the service line, the city shall require the customer to repair his pipes. If the pipes are not repaired within the time period allowed by the city, service shall be terminated. (1976 Code, § 13-246)
