No person shall use the space under any such sidewalk in such a manner as to interfere with any sewer or water pipe or any other work lawfully in said public way, unless by the express consent of the commissioner of transportation and no public way use permit shall be granted until the applicant has paid to the city a sum of money sufficient in the judgment of the commissioner of water management to defray the cost and expense of renewing or rebuilding or relaying such sewer or water pipe or other public work and making the necessary connections therewith. Every such person disturbing any such sewer or water pipe or any other public work shall, within ten days thereafter, restore the same to such condition as will meet the approval of the commissioner of water management. When the commissioner of water management certifies that such sewer, water pipe, or other public work is so restored, the sum so paid to the city shall be refunded. If the permittee shall fail to so restore such sewer or water pipe or other public work, then the commissioner of water management shall cause the same to be restored in a manner meeting his approval, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of said deposit.
