(A) Emergency situations.
(1) Each provider shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the Public Works Superintendent of any event regarding its facilities which it considers to be an emergency. The provider may proceed to take whatever actions are necessary in order to respond to the emergency. Within two business days, unless otherwise extended by the Public Works Superintendent, after the occurrence or discovery of the emergency (whichever is later), the provider shall apply for the necessary permits, pay the fees associated therewith and fulfill all the requirements necessary to bring itself into compliance with this chapter for any and all actions taken in response to the emergency.
(2) In the event that the village becomes aware of an emergency regarding a provider's facilities, the village may attempt to contact the provider or system representative of each provider affected, or potentially affected, by the emergency. In any event, the village may take whatever action it deems necessary in order to respond to the emergency, the cost of which shall be borne by the provider whose facilities caused the emergency.
(B) Non-emergency situations. Except in the case of an emergency, any provider who constructs in, on, above, within, over, below or through a right-of-way without a valid permit shall cease any further work upon the order of the inspector or Public Works Superintendent and before commencing any additional work shall within ten business days of initiating such construction obtain a permit, pay double the normal fee for said permit, pay double all the other fees required by the Codified Ordinances, deposit with the village the fees necessary to correct any damage to the rights- of-way and comply with all of the requirements of this chapter.
