HOLD HARMLESS RELEASE FORM

 

As owner of the property, I certify that I have the authority to and do consent to the performance of sewer lateral repair work on and about the property described in the application and will not interfere with the work to be performed by the contractor selected by the City of Florissant and shall reimburse the City for all expenses incurred by the City on applicants behalf in the event the applicant withdraws permission to proceed or otherwise interferes with performance of work authorized under this program.

 

As owner of the property, I certify that I nor anyone on behalf of owner will make any claim against or seek any relief from the City of Florissant arising out of or in connection with any work done or any action taken in connection with the Residential Sewer Lateral Repair Program.

 

As owner of the property, I also understand and agree that the City of Florissant is not responsible for the actions of the contractor making the sewer lateral repairs and agree to indemnify the City of Florissant and hold the City of Florissant harmless from any and all claims arising out of the applicant’s participation in, and work performed and actions taken in connection with, the Residential Sewer Lateral Repair Program.

 

As owner of the property, I understand that sewer lateral repair includes only the patching or replacement of a defective sewer lateral line, including associated digging and the replacement of dirt and seeding of affected areas, and does not include replacement of landscaping or ornamental structures and may not include replacement of structural facilities.

 

As owner of the property, I understand that I may be responsible for the repair or replacement of the property or items on the property not covered by the City of Florissant. If necessary, I as property owner will make necessary repairs to the property to bring the property to a condition substantially similar to the condition of the property, prior to participation in the program, within six months or other time as may be established by the Director of Public Works. Specifically, as owner I may be responsible for repair/replacement of items such as driveways and sidewalks or accessory structures which may include fences and walls.

 

Following receipt of this information and your $300.00 deposit, the Department of Public Works will initially evaluate the application and verify that Personal Property taxes for the previous year were paid. The City’s plumber will then contact you to inspect your lateral line. If the City determines the lateral is defective, arrangements will be made for the City’s crew to excavate the area to repair the sewer lateral. If your lateral is approved for repair, you will be reimbursed the $300.00 deposit once the repair is complete; if you are not approved for repair your deposit will be kept to compensate the City's contracted plumber for their services. This program does not cover the portion of the sanitary sewer lateral under the home or within five (5) feet outside the dwelling unit’s foundation. The program will cover only sanitary sewer laterals that connect to the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District’s main sewer system. The program does not cover septic tank replacement, private treatment systems or the cost to replace any trees, shrubs, flowers, sod, decks, concrete work, (except for public sidewalks and public streets), retaining walls or out buildings that may be damaged during the repair of the sewer lateral. By typing your name below, you are signifying that everything on this form is true to the best of your knowledge.
