(A) The permittee holds an excavation permit shall not interfere with any existing utility without the written consent of the Director of Public Works and the owner of the utility. If it becomes necessary to relocate an existing utility, this shall be done by its owner. No utility owned by the city shall be moved to accommodate the permittee unless the cost of such work is borne by the permittee. The cost of moving privately owned utilities shall be similarly borne by the permittee unless other arrangements have been made with the person owning the utility. The permittee shall support and protect, by timbers or otherwise, all pipes, conduits, poles, wires and other apparatus which may be in any way affected by the excavation work and do everything necessary to support, sustain and protect them under, over, along or across such work. The permittee shall be responsible for any damage done to any public or private property by reason of the breaking of water pipes, sewers, gas pipes, electric conduits or other utilities and shall be liable therefor. The permittee shall inform himself as to the existence and location of all underground utilities and protect the same against danger.
(B) Violation of this section shall be deemed an infraction.
