A. Consistent with chapter
13.08, all drain layers must be licensed and/or approved by the director of public works and the city engineer prior to commencing any work within the city of Revere. The director of public works and the city engineer may license such drain layers as apply and are found competent. No person other than a licensed drain layer shall construct, repair, otherwise connect to or excavate for such purpose any utility within the City's right-of-way nor perform any type of subsurface exploration and/or borings of any kind.

applications for the construction, repair, or alteration of utilities
for private use within the City's right-of-way, and their entrance
into common utilities, shall be made to the director of public works,
and shall be in such form as he/she shall prescribe, and shall be
approved by the city engineer. All such utilities for private use
within the City's right-of-way and their entrances into common utility
systems shall be constructed, connected, maintained, and kept in repair
by a licensed private drain layer hired or employed by the applicant
in such manner as the director of public works and/or city engineer
may from time to time determine. The cost of any work so constructed,
maintained, or repaired shall be paid by the applicant therefor.
