All new utility facilities (including, but not limited to, electric and gas distribution, communication and cable television lines) extended to and installed within any new subdivision shall be placed underground. The installation of the facilities of privately owned utility companies shall be made in accordance with the Utilities Rules and Regulations on file with the Public Utilities Commission. Exempt from this requirement are: equipment appurtenant to underground facilities, such as surface-mounted transformers, pedestal-mounted terminal boxes and meter cabinets, and concealed ducts.
A. The subdivider is responsible for complying with the requirements of this section and shall make the necessary arrangements with the utility companies involved for the installation of said facilities.
B. Public rights-of-way and easements where utilities are to be placed underground shall be graded to within six (6) inches of the final grade prior to the installation of those utilities.
C. Grades of curbs and sidewalks shall be determined and staked before utilities are installed underground, and all surface mounted appurtenances and vaults shall be carefully set to grade to match the curb and/or sidewalk grade.
