901.04 NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

   Previous to the paving, repair, resurfacing or reconstruction of any street or public way, the Safety-Service Director shall, under the direction of Council, cause notices to be sent to all abutting property owners requiring them to install any needed water or sewer service branches. Notice shall also be sent to all public service corporations to install all necessary mains, conduits, service branches and structures. Property owners and public service corporations shall be allowed the necessary and reasonable time required for the aforesaid installations before the new pavement is laid. Thereafter, during the period of three years from the final completion and acceptance of the new pavement, no permit for making any opening in such pavement shall be issued, except by express authority from Council. Council shall exercise this special authority only for reasons of public necessity or for undue private hardship where the necessity for the opening arises from causes over which the applicant has no control. Lack of foresight in not installing service connections prior to the laying of a new pavement or the repairing or resurfacing of a pavement shall not be considered an adequate reason for abrogation of the general rule. In all cases where a street opening permit shall be issued during the three year period, an additional suitable charge in excess of the scheduled rate, shall be assessed. (Ord. 685. Passed 8-19-41.)
