When the inspection discloses that there has been a violation of any provision of this section and the violations are under the roadway, the property owner will perform the repairs, except as stated in division (L)(4) below. However, a property owner shall not excavate in the roadway without permission from the Public Works Director. (4) Non-excavation violations and corrections. When the property owner is correcting violations of the private sewer lateral between the street and the building using a cured in place pipe ("pipe liner") or similar approved repair methods, and the corrections only involve the lining of the private sewer lateral, the contractor shall terminate the pipe liner as close to the connection with the city's public sanitary sewer main as possible. If the pipe liner extends into the public main, the contractor shall trim off the excess portion and report its approximate location to the Public Works Department as soon as possible.

Any property found not to be in compliance upon reinspection or any person refusing to allow their property to be reinspected shall, following notification from the city, comply within 14 calendar days or be subject to the surcharge hereinafter provided for.

Any request for a temporary waiver shall be submitted to the Public Works Director in writing. Upon approval of a temporary waiver from the provisions of this section, the property owner shall agree to pay an additional fee for sanitary sewer services based on the number of gallons discharged into the sanitary sewer system as estimated by the Public Works Dir ector or his or her designee.

The Public Works Director may terminate the waiver upon a failure to comply with any conditions imposed in the temporary waiver or may take appropriate legal action to enforce those conditions.
