A. It shall be unlawful, except in an emergency as set forth in Subsection B hereunder, for any person to engage in any of the following activities unless such person shall first have obtained a permit therefor from the Town Clerk/Administrator as herein provided:
(1) To dig up, excavate, tunnel, undermine or in any manner break up any street.
(2) To make or cause to be made any excavation in or under the surface of any street for any purpose.
(3) To place, deposit or leave upon any street any earth or other excavated material obstructing or tending to interfere with the free use of the street.
(4) To clear any town right-of-way of vegetation for the installation of gravel material and/or construction of a bituminous concrete cartway.
(5) To perform any other operation on any street which in any manner interferes with or disturbs the surface of such street.
B. In the event that any street, main, conduit or other utility installation in or under any street, alley, sidewalk or public way shall burst, break or otherwise be in such condition as to seriously endanger persons or property, the owner of such sewer, main, conduit or other installation shall immediately remedy such trouble and shall immediately take all such necessary steps to make said location safe and secure. Such owner shall not, however, begin making any permanent repairs to such street, alley or sidewalk until they shall have secured a permit as hereinafter provided. Such permit shall be applied for within five days after such break or other dangerous conditions have developed, and the necessary permanent repairs to the street, alley or sidewalk shall be made as directed by the Town Engineer and shall be completed as soon as practicable after receipt of the permit.
