(a) Prior to the new paving or reconstruction or resurfacing of any street, Council shall cause notices to be sent to all public utility corporations.
(b) City departments and abutting property owners are to install all necessary mains, conduits, service branches and structures. Public utility corporations and City departments shall be allowed a reasonable time for completing such installations before the new pavement or resurfacing is laid.
(c) Thereafter, during the period of three years from the final completion and acceptance of the new pavement, no permit for making an opening in such pavement shall be issued, except upon payment of an additional charge in excess of the amount otherwise chargeable in the amount of two percent (2%) of the restoration cost for each month of the unlapsed part of such three-year period and in no event less than ten percent ( 10%) . Such charges shall not be considered as penalties but as compensation for loss of useful life caused by openings in new surfaces. The determination of the City Engineer as to such charges shall be final.
