In any case when the construction, paving or repaving of any street, public way or alley necessitates a cut or fill of such depth as to make it impracticable to lay mains or to make connections prior to the grading of the street, alley or way, then in such cases the Director of Public Service may suspend the work upon the street, alley or way when the same has been brought to a convenient grade for the laying of mains, pipes and making sewer, light and other connections, for a reasonable length of time, to give the property owners and persons and corporations engaged in business necessitating the use or occupancy of any part of the street, alley or way, a reasonable opportunity for the laying of the mains, pipes or conduits and the making of the connections. The Director shall order the work of construction, paving or resurfacing to be resumed after the lapse of such reasonable length of time and notice shall be given by the Director to the property owners abutting upon the cut or fill and to the other persons or corporations interested, as hereinbefore enumerated, notifying them of the date upon which the work of construction, paving or resurfacing will be resumed. The failure to give or receive the notice shall not affect the other provisions of this chapter or the penalties hereby imposed, and shall not be deemed to create an emergency within the meaning of Section 905.03.
