(B) In making excavations in streets, alleys, or sidewalks for the purpose of installing pipe, or making repairs, the paving, stones, and earth must be removed and deposited in a manner that will occasion the least inconvenience to the public and provide for adequate drainage. No person shall leave an excavation made in the street, alley, or sidewalk open at any time without a barricade, and during the night, warning lights.

All installation shall be done under the supervision and strictly in accordance with the rules, regulations, and specifications prescribed for such installation by the City Superintendent; provided that the said rules, regulations, and specifications have been reviewed and approved by the governing body.
