However, the utility company shall have <br /> right-of-access to all private wastewater equipment. <br /> 4) Should system equipment on individual lots need repair or replacement, <br /> it is the responsibility of the homeowner to contract with the utility <br /> company for repair of the system. <br /> 5) Should the homeowner fail to initiate action to have a faulty system <br /> repaired, the utility company shall have the right to either shut off the <br /> valve at the street or repair the equipment and charge the homeowner for <br /> the repairs. <br /> 6) The utility company shall, per state requirements, post a $10,000 bond <br /> to be revoked by the State Utilities Commission should the utility default <br /> in its operation of the system. <br /> 7) Should the utility company default on operaton of the system or abandon <br /> the facility, his title to the system and all land associated with the <br /> system shall revert back to the homeowners association and subsequently be <br /> transfered to the new utility company. <br /> 6320 Quadrangle Drive, Suite 220 • Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514 • 919.490.8542 <br />
