    Corporation sewer, road, or footpath, machinery (if any),
    covered watercourse, ventilating shaft, trap, manhole,
    grating, and other appliances and works respectively, or
    any other Corporation property, including any breakage,
    letting-in of sand, earth or subsoil, water, loosening joints,
