§ 24-28. Emergency pavement cuts.

(a)

Whenever it is necessary to make a pavement cut due to an emergency such as a ruptured utility line during hours when the street inspection official is not working, the street inspection official shall be notified and a permit obtained during the first two (2) hours of the next regular day of work of the street inspection official.

(b)

To prevent a public hazard, emergency pavement cuts shall be barricaded, signed and lighted at all times until the cut is completely repaired.

If it is necessary to backfill an emergency pavement cut with excavated material due to the urgency to restore traffic, on the next day of regular work, the backfill shall again be excavated and shall be disposed of. The second backfill and all subsequent work shall be accomplished with selected borrow material and repaved as hereinbefore specified.

(d)

The applicant for the pavement cutting permit shall notify the street inspection official when the work is ready for inspection.
