(a) When a special street privilege shall terminate, whether by force of law, by action of the authorized City authorities, or by reason of abandonment of the permitted use, the permittee shall immediately remove all private construction from the street area and make all necessary street and sidewalk restoration, under the supervision and subject to the approval of the City. In case of failure to remove and restore within a reasonable time, the City shall be authorized to make the necessary removal and restoration, and charge the expense thereof to the permittee, unless otherwise provided.
(b) In the case of underground pipes or similar underground construction, where the pipes or other equipment can be effectively sealed, and the existence of the private construction in the street, alley or way presents, in the sole opinion of the City, no difficulties, the City may waive the removal and instead authorize the necessary sealing. All pipes or equipment left in any street, alley or way shall thereupon become the property of the City.
