Section 608.1 of the IPC is amended adding the following:

(a) A property owner may install or cause to be installed underground lawn sprinkling systems on city property in front and on the side of his or her property provided that:

(1) Lawn sprinkling systems installed on city property comply with materials and installation as required by the IPC adopted in section 22-316; and

(2) A revocable license has been issued to the property owner prior to installation of the underground lawn sprinkling system.

(b) Property owners installing or causing to be installed an underground lawn sprinkling system within a public right-of-way shall execute an application for a revocable permit, on forms furnished by the City, to be filed in the office of the county clerk and recorder in the county in which the underground lawn sprinkling system is to be installed. Such permit shall place full responsibility upon the property owner for any loss of life, injury or damage to any property that may be sustained by any person in connection with the erection and maintenance of the underground lawn sprinkling system and shall save harmless the city from any liability arising out of the installation and maintenance of such underground lawn sprinkling system. All rights and privileges acquired under this section are mere revocable permits and may be revoked at any time by the director of public works. The filing fee for the revocable permit shall be paid at the time of issuance of the permit.
