In case of an emergency involving underground storm
or drain water, gas water, sewer, telephone, cable or electric utilities,
where immediate repair is imperative to prevent loss or damage to
streets or property or discontinuance of service, it shall not be
necessary to obtain permits before commencing such repair, but Township
Superintendent of Public Works must be notified immediately of the
occurrence, and such permit(s) shall be obtained within two days thereafter,
and this section shall not be held or taken in any case to exempt
the applicant from any other provisions of this chapter.
