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.
[Amended 1-17-2023 by Ord. No. 1-2023]
A.
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.
B.
If a new patch is to be made where there is an existing patch, the
entire pavement area shall be removed and replaced as determined by
the City Engineer.
C.
If any excavation for which a permit has been issued hereunder exceeds
25 feet in length, the permittee shall be responsible for resurfacing
the street from curb to curb over the entire area or as determined
by the City Engineer. Where no curb exists, the resurfacing shall
extend to the existing pavement limits or as determined by the City
Engineer.
D.
If there are multiple patches and the area of disturbance exceeds
10% of the total area of a street block, then the entire road in the
block shall be resurfaced in a manner and with materials as determined
by the City Engineer.
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.
