§ 13.08.560. Rehabilitation of damaged or defective building sewer by sliplining—Exceptions.

A.

Rehabilitation of any building sewer in the city by sliplining shall only be allowed with the prior approval of the Director of Public Works. The property owner or his or her agent, at the time of requesting said permission, shall provide the Director of Public Works with video recording(s) of a television inspection of the section of the building sewer under the improved area of the public right-of-way. The Director shall not grant such permission to slipline the building sewer if, in his or her opinion based on the aforementioned video of television inspection or visual evidence of surficial subsidence or cracks in the vicinity of the building sewer, sliplining may not properly correct the existing dangerous and insanitary condition of the building sewer or may pose future dangerous and/or insanitary condition in or about the building sewers or any property in the vicinity of the building sewer.

B.

Said requirement for the provision of video recordings of the television inspection of the building sewer by the contractor/owner to the Director of Public Works may be waived if the pipe section proposed to be sliplined measures twenty (20) feet or less and can be directly inspected with the "naked eye" to detect any obstruction or defects that may exist in said pipe section. Only the Director of Public Works or his or her representatives shall have the authority to determine if a pipe section can indeed be inspected effectively with the "naked eye."
