A. 
Application. No person shall open or cause to be opened by cutting or digging the surface, pavement or soil in any street, highway or public place under the jurisdiction of the Village without first obtaining the written consent of the Superintendent of Public Works and complying with the provisions and conditions relating thereto as hereinafter provided.
B. 
Deposits and bonds. The Board of Trustees shall by resolution establish a uniform set of deposits and the principal amount of public liability bonds for the written consent, which deposits shall be based upon the estimated actual costs and expenses in restoring the street, highway or other public property to its former usefulness. The Board of Trustees may, from time to time, change said deposits and principal amount of bonds to reflect changes in costs and expenses. The Superintendent of Public Works may give written consent for minor street openings upon deposit of the sum of $200 if, in his or her judgment, such sum is sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the street and improvements thereof.
Any person making or causing to be made any such excavation in the streets, highways or public places of the Village shall properly guard or barricade such excavation at all times and install and maintain adequate and sufficient warning devices to warn the public and shall restore the street, highway or public property to its former usefulness according to § 212-3 hereof.
All excavated materials shall be removed, following which all openings shall be carefully backfilled for their entire length, width and depth in the street or highway area, including the area between the curb and the property line, with bank-run gravel or crushed stone, well tamped. Additional bank-run gravel or crushed stone shall be added by the permittee as long as any settlement occurs, following which the pavement, curbing or other improvements shall be restored by the permittee, as required. In case the permittee shall fail to restore the street within 15 days after written notice, the Superintendent of Public Works may cause such work to be performed and shall report to the Village Clerk-Treasurer the cost of such work which shall be deducted from the deposit. The balance, if any, shall be paid to the permittee upon his or her application in writing therefor and approval of the Superintendent of Public Works, subject to authorization and direction of the Board of Trustees.
A. 
Bond in lieu of paying deposits. Public service corporations may, in lieu of paying the deposits established pursuant to § 212-1 of this article, file with the Village Clerk-Treasurer a bond to be approved as to form, amount and sufficiency of sureties by the Village Attorney, conditioned upon the proper restoration of streets, highways and public places, in accordance with the directions of the Superintendent of Public Works and to his or her satisfaction; the payment to the Village, upon demand, of any costs and expenses incurred by the Village; and the saving of the Village of Central Square, its officers and employees harmless from any loss, injury or damage due to opening streets, highways or public places or to any negligence or fault of such corporations, their employees or agents in connection therewith.
