Any person, firm, corporation, association or others making any excavation or tunnel in or under any street, alley or public place in the city shall restore said street, alley or public place to its original condition, except for the surfacing, which shall be done by the city, but shall be paid for promptly upon completion by such person, firm, corporation, association or others for which the excavation or tunnel was made. In case of unreasonable delay in restoring the street, alley or public place, the Public Works Director shall give notice to the person, firm, corporation, association or others that unless the excavation or tunnel is refilled properly within a specified reasonable period of time, the city will do the work and charge the expense of doing the same to such person, firm, corporation, association or others. If, within the specified time, the conditions of the above notice have not been complied with, the work shall be done by the city, an accurate account of the expense involved shall be kept, and the total cost shall be charged to the person, firm, corporation, association or others who made the excavation or tunnel.
