(A) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the city from constructing storm or sanitary sewers, grading, paving, repairing or altering any rights-of-way, or laying down, repairing or removing water mains, traffic signal control systems, city fiber plant, or constructing or establishing any public utility, service or other public work that the city may operate or undertake now or in the future.
(B) All the work shall be done, insofar as practicable, in a manner as not to obstruct, injure or prevent the free use and operation of poles, wires, conduits, conductors, pipes or appurtenances of the grantee.
(C) If the city in its reasonable judgment shall determine that the grantee’s facilities interfere with the construction location or repair of any rights-of-way or public improvement, then all the facilities of the grantee shall be removed or replaced, or temporarily disconnected, in a manner as shall be directed by the city so that the same shall not interfere with the public works of the city.
(D) The removal or replacement shall be at the expense of the grantee; provided, however, that nothing in this chapter shall preclude the grantee from seeking reimbursement for removal or replacement costs from any public funds generally available to rights-of-way users for the reimbursement of the costs.
