When streets are opened for the purpose of making sewer connections,
the pavement and the earth shall be deposited in the manner that will
occasion the least inconvenience to the public and that will provide
for the passage of water along the gutters.
The surface of the street pavement, flagging and gutters, after
opening has been made for the purpose of sewer connections, must be
restored to at least as good condition as before excavation, and the
paving must be done by a competent paver. In refilling the trench,
the same earth shall be replaced as was taken out; and in case of
rock excavation, the trench shall be refilled with good earth.
Any person by whom any excavation is to be made for construction,
altering or repairing a waste pipe or drain in any street in the City
shall give notice, in writing, thereof to the City Engineer and to
the owners of any pipes laid in the street about to be disturbed by
such excavation at least 24 hours before the excavation is begun.
Any person disturbing pipes laid in the street shall, at his
own expense, sustain, secure and protect such pipes from injury and
shall pack the earth whenever the same shall have been removed, loosened
or disturbed under or around such pipes so that the pipes shall be
well and substantially supported.
