§ 21-132.   Restoration-Special.
   The permanent restoration of special type pavements, such as concrete, brick, Belgian block, cobblestone gutters or tiles, shall consist of relaying the original wearing course in accordance with the original installation specifications in such a manner as to prevent settlement or other deterioration.
(Ord. 8/24/1988)
§ 21-133.   Testing and Inspection.
   1.   The Township Street Inspector may inspect all cuts having an area of five square yards or more, and an inspection fee shall be charged. Such inspection fees shall constitute acceptance and approval of work performed by the utility or its contractor, but it is understood that such acceptance and approval does not relieve the utility of any responsibility under this Part throughout the guarantee period.
   2.   Inspection of small cuts having an area of five square yards or less shall not require visual observation when the work is in progress, but may be approved or rejected through subsequent examinations and/or testing.
(Ord. 8/24/1988, § 137)
§ 21-134.   Repaving and Reconstruction.
   Upon notification from the office of the Township Engineer of a planned street resurface or reconstruction, all utilities will be required to test their lines and services and to schedule necessary capital improvements and service connections prior to resurfacing or reconstruction. Thereafter, cuts will be permitted in the new pavement only in an emergency. Pave cuts made in new pavement shall be subject to a penalty. (See Fee Schedule.) Essential services for new building construction will be exempt from this penalty. New construction shall not include the addition of an alternate or secondary source of fuel, water, heat or other service not included in the original construction or regarded as essential to the original construction. Pavement shall be considered new for a period of five years, from the date of plan.
(Ord. 8/24/1988, § 138)
§ 21-135.   Limestone and Monuments.
   No linestone or monument in the Township of Plains may be removed, altered or buried at any time. When pave cuts or road construction, require the temporary removal of a linestone or monument, it must be preserved at the site and reset at the direction of the Engineer. All costs incident thereto, including surveys, shall be charged to the utility or contractor. A penalty shall be imposed for failure to report the removal or alteration of a linestone or monument. Burial or paving over a limestone or monument shall carry a penalty for each stone or monument covered. In addition, all cost incidental to exposing and/or resetting a limestone or monument shall be charged to the utility or contractor, and a 20 percent penalty shall be added to their costs.
(Ord. 8/24/1988, § 139; as amended by Ord. 2015-2, 5/14/2015, § 139)

§ 21-137.   Test Borings.
