Montreal Homeowners will no longer have to pay for repairs caused by water or sewage pipelines on city property.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the old bylaw had cost multiple homeowners tens of thousands of dollars, including one NDG resident who had to pay roughly 30, 000 dollars to repair a sewage pipe 50 feet from his property.

Projet Montreal recommended the city assume responsibility for the repairs with homeownwers paying only 5, 000 dollars. 

In turn, Montreal's executive committee decided to have the city assume all costs instead, as long as the damage was not caused by the negligence of the homeowner.
