(A) In making excavations in streets, alleys, or sidewalks for the purpose of installing pipe or making repairs, the paving, stones, and earth must be removed and deposited in a manner occasioning the least inconvenience to the public and providing for adequate drainage. 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. If the excavation in any street, alley, or sidewalk is left open or unfinished for a period of 48 hours or more, the Utilities Superintendent shall have the duty to finish or correct the work, and all expenses so incurred shall be charged to the consumer.
(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 first work is completed and the service is 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.
