(A) When any part of any street, sidewalk, alley or public place of the town shall be torn, dug up or taken up, for any purpose, the person doing the same shall immediately upon the completion of such purpose, and as speedily as practicable during the accomplishment thereof, return the earth, ram and water-tamp or puddle the same to firm and solid bearing, in such manner as will entirely prevent the settling of such earth; and shall replace the surface of the street, sidewalk, alley or public place and restore the same to a condition as good in all respects as before the excavation was made, all of which shall be done according to the directions of the Director of Public Works and the Town Administrator, and to their satisfaction. Any person neglecting, refusing or failing to comply with any provision of this section shall be guilty of a violation thereof, and where such neglect, refusal or failure is continued, after notice from the Town Administrator, every day’s continuance thereof shall constitute a separate and distinct offense.
(B) Persons who make excavations or perform other work in or on any street or public way shall traffic control and warning measures in compliance with the guidelines in the Manual on Uniform Traffic-Control Devices, published by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Construction and Maintenance Operations Supplement (to the MUTCD) published by the State Department of Transportation.
