(a)

All facilities that have been accepted by the county shall become the property of the county and will be operated, maintained and repaired by the county. No person shall perform any work nor be reimbursed for any work on the system unless written authorization from the county is received prior to the work being accomplished.

(b)

The county shall make a reasonable effort to inspect and keep its facilities in good repair, but assumes no liability for any damage caused by the system that is beyond the control of normal maintenance or due to situations not previously reported to the department. This shall include damage due to breaking of the pipes, poor quality of water caused by unauthorized or illegal entry of foreign material into the system, faulty operation of fire protection facilities, or other reasons.
