(A) It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person, firm or corporation, either as principal or agent, to make any excavation in any part of the streets, alleys, highways, sidewalks or other public property, for the purpose of drilling any well or for the purpose of laying or installing any pipe lines in or upon such property without first having obtained a permit from the City Council so to do.
(B) The applicant for such permit shall file with the City Clerk a plat showing in detail the size and exact location of such proposed excavation and the purpose for which the same will be made, and if for the laying of pipelines, the size of the pipeline, the purpose for which it will be used and the depth at which such line will be buried. Upon the granting of any such permit, the City Council may require the permittee to furnish a proper bond or to place in escrow a sufficient sum of money for the payment of any damages which are likely to accrue on account of such excavation and for the faithful performance by the permittee of his agreement to restore the land to the same or as good condition as it was prior to such excavation.
(C) The City Council may also require payment from such permittee of an annual fee or rental so long as such excavation or such pipeline is in use.
