A. CITY INSPECTION. All installation work or repair of connection to the Sanitary Sewer, Sewer Service, or Waterworks system including grades, bends and backfilling shall be inspected by the City Inspector. No work shall be covered or backfilled until directed by said Inspector. All work and excavations shall be protected by barricades and warning markers and lights reasonable and suitable for the purpose. The City shall be held harmless of any claim or loss as might otherwise arise for damage, loss or injury caused by or arising by reason of such work being performed.
B. EXCAVATION PROCEDURES. No digging in any permanent type street shall be permitted except by special written permission from the City. Backfilling shall be thoroughly compacted by mechanical means to 95 percent Standard Proctor density. The top 12 inches of the excavation shall be backfilled with Class 5 gravel base material. The bituminous surface shall match existing thickness and shall be installed in accordance with Minnesota Highway Department Specification.
Where excavations are unsatisfactorily filled and surfacing is improperly patched, the City Council shall cause them to be placed in a satisfactory condition and the cost thereof shall be charged to such plumber making the same, and the privilege of such plumber doing further work within the City shall be suspended until such charge is paid. Such plumber shall be given notice thereof and ten days within which to pay such charge.
