   (a)    No person shall abandon or knowingly permit to remain on public or private property, any excavation, well, cesspool or structure which is in the process of construction, reconstruction, repair or alteration unless the same is adequately protected by suitable barricades and guarded by warning devices or lights at night, so that the condition will not prove dangerous to life or limb. If such site is in the public way, the excavator shall provide flagmen to direct traffic around the site. In the event flagmen are not provided, the City shall provide them, and the person excavating at the site shall repay the City for the reasonable costs therefor. The site of the excavation, construction, repair or alteration in a street shall be resurfaced with material similar to that of the original condition of the street.
   (b)    Any person commencing an excavation in the public way shall previously notify the Street Superintendent, Police Department and Fire Department.
