If, in the <br />judgment ofthe UtilityPermit and Inspections Supervisor, ahazardous or dangerous condition exists <br />that affects the public health, safety and welfare, the, notification requirement may be waived and the <br />City may take necessary corrective action to remove the hazardous conditions and charge the costs <br />thereof to the responsible party without prior notification. See EC 7.308 (3). <br />If more than one permittee has worked within the affected area, the Utility Permit and Inspections <br />Supervisor shall allocate the responsibility and cost for restoration and maintenance. Factors to be <br />considered in the allocation of responsibility include the nature of the work each performed, the type <br />of deterioration occurring, when each permittee performed work, the kind of equipment and con- <br />structiontechniques each used, and other such factors which may be deemed relevant.
