The Township adopted an ordinance requiring permits for work within its road rights-of-way in June of 2008, and that ordinance has been explained to the Hermans. They have agreed to complete and pay the permit fee; and the Township Board reviewed the matter Tuesday evening, July 6, and has agreed in principle to approve the permit to be filed by the Hermans. That permit will contain the following language (from the ordinance) to make it clear that the Hermans will be responsible for any damage done to the Township’s right of way as a result of the installation, maintenance, repair, and improvement they have proposed. Specifically, the language of the ordinance states: Limitations. Any person required to obtain a permit under this ordinance shall indemnify and hold the Town harmless from any damage done to the Town’s right-of-way as a result of the installation, maintenance, repair, or improvement necessitating the permit. The Town shall not be liable for any damage to the permitted work as a result of the use, maintenance, repair, or improvement of the town road right-of-way. As you can see, the ordinance also makes it clear that the Township cannot be held liable for any damage to the sewer system as a result of use, maintenance, repair, or improvement of the Township’s right of way.
