No person shall leave an excavation made in the street, alley or sidewalk open at any time without a barricade. After service pipes are laid, the streets, alleys and sidewalks shall be restored to good condition.

(B) All installations or repairs of pipes require two inspections by the Utilities Superintendent. The first inspection shall be made when connections or repairs are completed and before the pipes are covered. The second inspection shall be made after the work is completed and the service has been restored. It is the consumer’s responsibility to notify the Utilities Superintendent at the time the work is ready for each inspection. All installation shall be done under the supervision of and strictly in accordance with the terms established by the Utilities Superintendent.
