(A) Conduits on streets and alleys. No permittee shall make any excavation or construct any lines for the conveyance of fuel, water or minerals on, under or through the streets and alleys of the city without express permission of the City Council in writing, and then only in strict compliance with the applicable provisions of this subchapter, state law or other city ordinances, rules and regulations.
(B) Deeper drilling.
(1) Once any well has either been completed as a producer or abandoned as a dry hole, it shall be unlawful and deemed an offense for any person to drill the well to a deeper depth than that reached in the prior drilling operation without the permittee, as to the well, obtaining a supplemental permit after filing a supplemental application with the City Secretary specifying the following:
(a) The present condition of the well and the casing therein;
(b) The depth to which the well is proposed to be deepened;
(c) The proposed casing program to be used in connection with the proposed deepening operation; and
(d) An evidence of adequate current tests showing that the casing strings in the well meet the requirements of this subchapter, as provided for in the case of drilling of the original well.
(2) In the event the City Council is satisfied that the well may be deepened with the same degree of safety as existed in the original well, a supplemental permit may be issued without additional filing fee to the permittee, authorizing the deepening and operation of the well to the specified depth as applied for. In any drilling or any completion of any deeper production operations, the permittee shall comply with all the provisions contained in this subchapter, and applicable to the drilling, completion and operation of a well or wells.
