(A) Upon grant of the franchise to construct and maintain a cable television system in the town, and in furtherance of the company’s execution of contracts with public utility companies, the company may obtain right-of-way permits from appropriate state, county and federal officials necessary to cross highways or roads to supply main trunk lines from the company's receiving antennas. The company shall construct its cable system using material of good and durable quality, and all work involved in the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of the cable system shall be performed in a safe, thorough and reliable manner. Any municipal property damaged or destroyed shall be promptly repaired or replaced by the company.
(B) In the event that the town elects to alter or change the grade of any street, alley or other public ways, the company, upon notice by the town, shall remove, relay or relocate its wires, cables, and other fixtures at the company's own expense.
(C) The company shall, on the request of any person holding a building moving permit issued by the town, temporarily raise or lower its wires to permit the moving of buildings. The expense of the temporary removal, raising or lowering of wires shall be paid by the person requesting the same, and the company shall have the authority to require the payment in advance. The company shall be given not less than 48 hours' advance notice to arrange for the temporary wire changes.
(D) The company shall provide, upon request and without charge, service to any municipal buildings owned and operated by the town, and to any public elementary or secondary school if located in the town where cable is already installed to service others. This shall mean only an energized cable shall be connected to the building. The cost of any internal wiring shall be borne by the institution.
(E) The company shall accomplish significant construction of at least 20% within one year after receiving FCC certification and other necessary federal approvals, and shall thereafter reasonably make cable service available to all residents of the town, subject to the line extension provisions of § 112.11, within two years after receiving federal approval.
