§ 303. Use and repair of rights-of-way.

A.

Grantee's distribution system and particularly Grantee's pipes and pipelines shall be erected, placed, laid, or otherwise installed, operated and maintained in such a manner as will least interfere with other public uses of the rights-of-way, including stormwater drainage systems.

B.

Grantee shall apply for and receive a rights-of-way construction permit, as provided in Subsection 304.A, before Grantee shall obstruct, excavate, cut pavement, bore, bore under or otherwise disturb the surface of any rights-of-way, except in the case of emergency. After such excavation or disturbance the Grantee shall, with due diligence and dispatch place the rights-of-way in a condition in compliance with the City's standards and specifications.

C.

Upon Grantee's failure to commence, work continuously, or complete any installation, operation and maintenance or restoration work required by this franchise with due diligence and dispatch, the City may cause such work to be done after written notice to Grantee, given so as to afford Grantee an opportunity to commence and complete such work within a reasonable time. The cost of such installation, operation and maintenance or restoration incurred by the City upon Grantee's failure shall then be charged and collected from the Grantee.
