The ownership of all reclaimed water mains, service connections, and appurtenances in public streets or utility rights-of-way shall be vested solely in the city of Lacey, and the person responsible for the construction of such mains shall relinquish, by bill of sale, all interest in the ownership of such mains upon acceptance by the city; provided, however, that all reclaimed water systems constructed by other governmental entities, including but not limited to the LOTT Alliance, shall remain under the ownership of the entity that constructed them unless dedicated to and accepted by the city under the provisions of this chapter.

The public works department will operate and maintain all approved and accepted mains in public streets or utility rights-of-way. In no case shall an owner, agent, officer or employee of any premises have the right to remove or change any part thereof without the approval of the director.

No person, other than City of Lacey or assigns, shall install or repair a reclaimed water main or other pipe in any street which is or shall be connected to the Lacey reclaimed water system. (Ord. 1294 §1, 2007).
