A.
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 the 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.
B.
The Township Superintendent of Public Works is hereby designated
as the appropriate official to determine whether a bona fide emergency
exists or existed to justify the emergent opening of any street covered
by this section.
