§1043. Conditions for carrying out work

When a standard district enters, digs up or excavates any public way or other land to lay or maintain its sewers, drains or pipes, constructing manholes or catch basins or other appurtenances or for any other purpose, the work must be done expeditiously. On completion of the work the standard district shall restore the public way or land to its condition prior to such work or to a condition equally good. If the work is being undertaken in a municipality and could potentially endanger travel on a public way, the municipal officers of the municipality in which the work is being done may order a temporary closing of the public way and of any intersecting way. Upon request of the standard district, the public way must remain closed to public travel until the municipal officers of the unit of local government determines the public way is restored to a condition safe for traffic. If the work is being undertaken in an unorganized territory and could potentially endanger travel on a public way, the commissioners of the county where the public way is located may order a temporary closing of the public way and of any intersecting way. Upon request of the standard district, the public way must remain closed to public travel until the county commissioners determine the public way is restored to a condition safe for traffic.   [PL 2013, c. 555, §6 (NEW).]
