(A) Any persons, other than the actual bona fide owner of the premises involved, who desires to engage or who shall hereafter engage at any time in the construction, alteration or repair of any sewer, sanitary connection or storm drain for any other person in the village, shall make application to the Superintendent of Public Works for a license before commencing such work, and shall deliver to the Superintendent of Public Works a general bond, or a certificate addressed to the village, certifying that such applicant is insured under a general bond or other instrument in the penal sum equal to 125% of the estimated cost of the work to be performed. The bond or certificate shall indemnify and save the village harmless of and from all liability for damages to persons or property by reason of or resulting directly or indirectly from the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair by such person of any sewer, sanitary connection or storm drain or any work or act of omission or commission incidental thereto or in connection therewith. The bond or certificate shall also be conditioned upon the conformance by such applicant with all the conditions and requirements of the provisions of this code, for performing such work, and conditioned also upon the restoration by such applicant of the street, alley, sidewalk and pavement disturbed by him or her so as to leave the same in as good before the work was undertaken. Such bond or certificate shall be signed by the applicant for such license, and by the surety or sureties on such bond or instrument or indemnification. Upon receipt of the bond or certificate by the Superintendent of Public Works, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent of Public Works to present such bond or certificate to the Board of Trustees of the next regular meeting of the Board or at special meeting called for that purpose for approval or rejection.
(B) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as preventing an individual from constructing a sewer, house connection or storm drain for his or her own home or on his or her own premises. However, this provision shall not be construed to exempt such person from all other requirements specified in this chapter.
