A permit is not required prior to excavation in the event of any emergency in which a main, conduit, or utility facility in or under any street breaks, bursts, or otherwise is in the condition as to immediately endanger the property, life, health, and safety of individuals. However, the persons owning or controlling the facility shall thereafter apply for an excavation permit, and shall not proceed with permanent repairs without first obtaining an excavation permit.
