(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to make, or to cause or permit to be made, any excavation in or under the surface of any public place for the installation, repair or removal of any pipe, conduit, duct or tunnel or for any other purpose without first obtaining from the street superintendent a written permit to make such excavation and paying all fees for permit, inspection and trench resurfacing.
(B) The person intending to make an excavation shall make a written application, which shall contain the name and the residence or business address of the person making such application and shall state in detail the location and area of each excavation intended to be made. If required by the Superintendent of Streets, such application shall be accompanied by a plat in duplicate showing the location of each proposed excavation, the purpose for which the same is to be used, and such other details as the street superintendent may require to be shown upon such plat; provided, however, that the filing of plats shall not be required when excavations are made for service connections for the location of trouble in conduits or pipes or for making repairs thereto.
