The minimum cover over any and all pipes larger than two and one-half inches installed within the right-of-way shall be 36 inches of earth or imported materials measured from the top of the curb; where curbs are not level with respect to each other at any section drawn perpendicular to the center line of the pavement, cover shall be measured from a straight line drawn between the curbs at the section in question. The top of curb elevations shall be established by the City Engineer. Where the cover specified in this section cannot be maintained due to topography, existing structures, or engineering necessity, the City Engineer may permit a reduced cover, attaching such additional requirements as he may deem necessary for the protection of facilities or improvements in the right-of-way.
