[Adopted 4-18-1961 as Ch. I, Art. V, of the 1961
Ordinances]
No excavation shall be made or caused to be made by any person in any
street or sidewalk in the Village for the purpose of putting in or taking
out water, gas or sewer pipe or other articles or material without a written
permit from the Board of Public Utilities in the case of water and sewer pipes
and from the Board of Trustees in all other cases. The provisions of this
article are in addition to the ordinances of the Board of Public Utilities.
All persons making or causing to be made any such excavation shall erect
and maintain proper guardrails and, by night, lights around such excavation
during the period the same remains open and around the materials or articles
taken from or to be placed in such excavation, so as to prevent injury to
travelers on such street.
Such excavation must be filled with dirt tamped in, wet down and thoroughly
packed, so that the street shall be level and smooth. All such materials and
articles as may be about such excavation after the same has been filled shall
be removed immediately so that said street shall be left free and clear of
obstructions.
