(A) Unless specifically authorized in writing by the city, all utility crossings across streets or other public ways under paved surfaces shall be made by boring or tunneling under the street or public way in such a manner that the strength of the paved surface is not affected. Such written authority will only be given when streets are unpaved, in very poor condition, or when it is shown that the underlying strata will not allow boring or tunneling.
(B) Unless specifically authorized in writing by the city, all utilities buried after November 14, 1989, including, but not limited to gas lines, electric lines, telephone lines, and cable television lines shall be buried a minimum depth of 24 inches from the point of their inception in the alley or street to the point of their entering the dwelling unit.
