(A) When it shall appear to the Superintendent of Streets and Maintenance that any low lots or vacant grounds are in a condition to injure or endanger the public health, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent of Streets and Maintenance to enter upon and thoroughly examine such lots or vacant grounds, and determine whether such lots or vacant grounds shall be drained, filled up, leveled or otherwise so improved to remove any nuisance complained of.
(B) Should the Superintendent be of the opinion that such lots or vacant ground ought to be filled up, leveled or drained, he or she shall submit a detailed report to the Town Council, setting forth the actual condition thereof, and suggesting the mode, materials and extent of such low lot or vacant grounds to be filled up, leveled or drained, upon which report the Town Council shall take such action as it may deem expedient.
