Re: Cherry Street Lofts Sewer Services.
Dear Mr. Wyatt
Per our discussion with Mr. Glebe on February 2, 2005, the Condominium Declaration
documentation required for the shared sanitary sewer service would need to be provided to the
City of Fort Collins Utilities prior to final development approval.
As for your letter, you indicated that at a future time you would need to determine the
point of the ownership of the proposed sanitary sewer service. The following are exerts from
Fort Collins Municipal Code and Chatter which clearly defines the point of responsibility for
all salutary sewer services: -
Sec. 26-206. Definitions ' Public sewer shall mean the sewer main or other major
street sewer in which all owners of abutting properties have equal rights and which is part
of the wastewater utility subject to the control and maintenance of the city.
See. 26.206. Definitions Service line (private sewer) shall mean a sewer
commencing at and collecting wastewater from a structure or facility on property served
by the wastewater utility and ending at the public sewer where the wastewater is
contributed to the wastewater utility.
Sec. 26-257. Service lines; user responsibilities. (b) Maintenance. The owner shall be
responsible for the cleaning; unstopping, maintenance and repair of the private sewer'and
at self -expense shall keep the entire service line as well as all pipes, fixtures, appliances
and apparatus on the property tight and in good workirig order to prevent discharge of
combined wastewater or prohibited substances into the wastewater utility. The owner
shall replace at the owner's expense any portion of the service line which in the opinion
of the General Manager has become so damaged or disintegrated as to be unfit -for further
use or is in such condition. as to permit infiltration into the public wastewater system. All
repairs shall be completed within thirty (30) days after written notification from the
utility. If the owner fails or refuses to complete repairs required by the General Manager,.
the General Manager may cause the repairs to be completed and charge the owner for the
costs of such repairs. If the costs of repairs made are not paid by the owner they may be
treated as any other delinquent utility charges. due the city.
