(A) Prior to the installation of new paving, repaving, repair, or resurfacing of any street when assessed against abutting owners, the Fiscal Officer shall, under the direction of the Mayor, cause notices to be sent to all abutting property owners requiring them to install any needed water or sewer service branches.
(B) Notice shall also be sent to all public utility corporations and village departments to install all necessary mains, conduits, service branches, and structures. Property owners, public utility corporations, and water works shall be allowed the necessary and legal time required for the aforesaid installations before the new pavement is laid. Thereafter, during the period of three years from the final completion and acceptance of the new pavement, no permit for making an opening in such pavement shall be issued except by express authority in each case from the Mayor, and he or she shall exercise this special authority only for reasons of public necessity or of undue private hardship where the necessity for the opening arises from causes over which the applicant has no control. Lack of foresight in not installing service connection prior to the laying of a new pavement shall not be considered as adequate reason for abrogation of the three-year restriction. In all cases where a street opening permit shall be issued during the restriction period, an additional suitable charge in excess of the schedule rate shall be imposed on the basis of 2% per month of the unelapsed period, in no event less than 10%.
