§ 4-16.1. Maintenance of utility easements by property owners or occupants.
It shall be the duty and obligation of all owners, occupants, and users of real property within a subdivision abutting upon public utility easements in the city, at their own cost and expense, to maintain and keep such easements adjoining their property free from accumulations of unsanitary, unsightly conditions and tall grass and weeds as defined in section 7-3 of this Code.
Where and when, by reason of a violation of this section, injury or damage is occasioned or inflicted on any person, primary liability for all such injury or damage shall rest upon the owner, occupant, or user of the property abutting on and served by such public utility easement.
