§ 102. Permit Required.
It shall be unlawful for any person to make any street opening which shall include any excavation, do any construction, or erect any obstruction of any kind upon, in, under, or over the right-of-way of any street or to make any street occupancy without first securing a permit from the Township for each separate undertaking; however, any person maintaining pipe, lines, or other underground facilities in or under the surface of any street may proceed with an opening without a permit when emergency circumstances demand the work to be done immediately, provided that the permit could not reasonably and practically have been obtained beforehand. The person shall thereafter apply for a permit on the first regular business day on which the Township Office is open for business and said permit shall be retroactive to the date when the work was begun. In all cases where emergency openings are necessary, the Township shall be notified prior to such openings.
