B. Requirements Of Excavation: In making excavations in streets or alleys for the laying of service lines or making repairs, the paving and earth removed must be deposited in a manner that will result in the least inconvenience to the public and provide for passage of water along gutters. No person shall leave any excavation, made in a street or alley, open at any time without barricade and, during the night, warning lights must be maintained at such excavation. After service lines are laid, in backfilling, the earth must be laid in layers of not more than one foot (1') in depth, and each shall be thoroughly tamped. The streets, sidewalks and pavement must be restored to as good a condition as previous to making the excavation. All dirt, stones and rubbish must be removed immediately after completion of the work. If an excavation in any street or alley shall be left open or unfinished for the space of forty eight (48) hours, or if the work shall be improperly done, or if the rubbish shall not be removed, the chief operator or his designee shall have the right to finish or correct the work. All expenses, so incurred, will be charged to the consumer before the water service is provided. (Ord. 179, 10-5-2010)
