(c) The Public Works Department shall be notified at least twenty-four (24) business hours in advance of any connection to the wastewater system so that inspections by the Public Works Department and the Community Development Department may be conducted.
(d) All service lateral installations within the public right-of-way shall be done in strict accordance within the requirements, as applicable, of the City's Public Works Department including, but not limited to, those requirements as set forth in an Encroachment Permit.
