Who is responsible for which part
In Midland the property owner maintains the whole sewer lateral, from the house to the main, including the part under City right-of-way. Section 3-1-19(E) of the Midland Municipal Code makes the City's sewer customer "solely responsible for all maintenance of, and service costs incurred in connection with, said laterals between the house or other structure being served and the main".
- The property owner
- The lateral between the house or other structure and the main, even though a portion of it is on City-owned right-of-way, under section 3-1-19(E). The City repairs or replaces a lateral damaged by its own employees or its own public works.
