All wires, cables, amplifiers, and other property shall be constructed and installed in an orderly and workmanlike manner consistent with all applicable requirements of the National Electric Code, state and local electric codes, and all pole attachment agreements. All cables and wires shall be installed parallel with existing telephone and electric wires whenever possible. Multiple cable configurations shall be arranged in parallel and bundled, with due respect for engineering and safety considerations. All installations shall be underground in these areas of the county where electric service is underground at the time of installation. In areas where electric utility facilities are aboveground at the time of installation, the franchisee may install its service aboveground with the understanding that at such time as those facilities are required to be placed underground by the county, the franchisee shall likewise place its services underground without additional cost to the subscribers or the county. It shall be the policy of the county that underground installation, even when not required, is preferable to the placement of additional poles.
