(a) Whenever the city or the director deems it necessary to remove, alter, change, relocate, or adapt the underground or overhead facilities of a public service provider in the public right-of-way due to the city’s reconstruction, widening, or straightening of streets; replacement of water or wastewater facilities; installation of traffic signals, traffic signs, and markings; or construction of any other city public improvement project, the public service provider that owns the facilities shall conform its facilities with the project as prescribed by the director.
(b) The facilities must be conformed, at the public service provider’s expense, within 90 days after the director issues notice to the public service provider, unless a different schedule for the work is approved by the director.
(c) Facilities of a public service provider that are not conformed within the 90-day notice period or within the approved schedule will be deemed abandoned, and the city will not be liable for any damage to or destruction or removal of the facilities, or for any interruption or termination of service through the facilities, caused by the activity of the city described in this section.
