(A) Grantee’s distribution system shall be erected, placed, laid, or otherwise installed, operated, and maintained in such a manner as will, consistent with reasonable necessity, least interfere with other public uses of the public ways.
(B) (1) Before grantee shall excavate or disturb the surface of any public way, except in the case of emergency, at least 48 hours’ notice shall be given to the City Inspector or other proper authority designated in writing by the grantor.
(2) After such excavation or disturbance, the grantee shall, with due diligence and dispatch, place the public ways in a condition in compliance with the grantor’s reasonable standards and specifications.
(C) Upon grantee’s failure to commence or complete any construction, maintenance, or restoration work required by this ordinance with due diligence and dispatch, the grantor 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 construction, maintenance, or restoration incurred by grantor upon grantee’s failure shall then be charged and collected from the grantee.
(D) Grantor reserves the right to make and enforce reasonable regulations concerning the construction, operation, and maintenance of grantee’s distribution system located along, across, over, or under the public ways and to reasonably designate where the distribution system’s works and pipelines shall be placed.
