Sec. 30-27. Drainage from lots, gutters or spouts.
No water from any lot, gutter or spout shall be permitted
to flow across the footway of any street except in a covered
drain, the cover of which shall not be above the surface of
such footway. Such drain shall be of sufficient capacity to
convey the water to be discharged by it and shall be built and
kept open and in good repair by the owner or occupant of the
premises whence it proceeds.
Each day any violation of this section shall be permitted to
continue after notice by the city manager or the chief of police
to abate the same shall constitute a separate offense. In case
of failure to comply with the order of the city manager or
the chief of police within five days, the city manager may
cause the construction to be made at the cost of the city, and
the cost thereof, with any fine imposed by the court, shall
be collected of the party in default in like manner as fines and
assessments are collected. (Code 1959, § 30-27.)
