B. Where the correction of a sewer line requires the repair or replacement of a damaged or broken section of the building connection piping that serves a single-family or a duplex property, and the damaged or broken section is located within the public right-of-way, the City will be responsible for the repair or replacement of the damaged or broken section in the public right-of-way.
