(B) No concrete, blacktop or other pavement shall be placed, poured or installed for a street, driveway, approach and/or sidewalk in the public right-of-way, nor shall any sewer-tap, pipe, catch basin, manhole or related appurtenances be covered up, backfilled or in any other way be rendered inaccessible until:
(1) The notice to the city pursuant to paragraph (A), above, has been made; and
(2) The City’s Inspector has inspected the site and has approved commencement of the placement, pouring and/or installation of the concrete or blacktop or other pavement, or has approved the cover-up or backfilling of the sewer-tap, pipe, catch basin, manhole or related appurtenances.
(C) If a street, driveway, approach and/or sidewalk has been constructed or if any sewer-tap, pipe, catch basin, manhole or related appurtenances are covered up, backfilled or in any other way be rendered inaccessible without giving the notice pursuant to paragraph (A), above, or without obtaining the City Inspector’s approval pursuant to paragraph (B), above, the City’s Inspector may order removal of the street, driveway, approach or sidewalk, sewer-tap, pipe, catch basin, manhole or related appurtenances, and/or may order boring, engineering and/or testing to determine whether the improvement meets the minimum requirements of the city’s applicable regulations. All costs of boring, engineering, testing, removal and/or replacement cost shall be borne by the violator.
(D) Any person who violates any provision of this section shall be subject to a civil fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each offense; each day’s continued violation shall constitute a separate offense.

(d) Provides simple instructions on where the ticket is to be mailed with a check or money order in the amount of the stipulated civil fine; and

If the civil fine is not paid within ten (10) days after the issuance of the citation, the violator may be cited to appear before the Campbell District Court and all court costs shall be borne by the violator in addition to any fine imposed by the court, which shall be not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) but not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each conviction, and each day’s continued violation shall constitute a separate offense.
