A separate application shall be filed and a separate permit obtained for each separate store, apartment or suite in any multiple-use or -purpose building.

Upon receiving the permit as aforesaid, the applicant shall forthwith inform the Superintendent of Sewers at what time on the following day, or as soon thereafter as may be possible, the trench will be opened and the main uncovered and ready for the connection with the lateral.
B. 
The applicant shall, at his own cost or expense, make or cause to be made all necessary excavations in the street or highway without damage to the main, shall cause the paving and earth so excavated to be deposited in a manner which will occasion the least inconvenience to the public, shall provide for the passage of water along the gutters, shall cause the paving, flagging and roadbed to be restored as quickly as possible to as good a condition as the same was prior to excavation and shall also be responsible for all damage by reason of all such excavation and for the imperfect filling in of same.
