Sec. 14-20. Inspection, maintenance and use of pipe lines laid
by property owners.
Before the city furnishes gas through pipe lines laid by
property owners, such private lines, including the size, location
and construction, shall be inspected and approved by the city
manager or his authorized representative. Whenever the city
furnishes gas through any privately laid pipe lines, the city shall
maintain such lines so long as it furnishes gas through them. In
consideration of such maintenance, the city shall have the right to
connect with and furnish gas to such additional consumers
through such lines as the city may determine, without any charge
being made by the owners of the lines to the city or to the owners
of any property connected therewith. (Code 1959, § 14-20.)
