It is unlawful for any person to maintain or operate an underground sprinkler (irrigation) system in a public right-of-way within the city which creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians or vehicles using the adjacent streets or highways. If any unsafe condition occurs, the city shall have authority to:

A. Order the owner or operator of the system to discontinue operating the system until it is repaired or the unsafe condition eliminated; or

B. Take action to disconnect or remove the system at the owner's/operator's expense if determined necessary by the city to protect public safety or the public water supply. (Ord. G-772 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 14-602)
