(A) In cases of new construction or property development where utilities are to be placed underground, upon request by a grantee, the developer or property owner shall give a grantee reasonable notice of the particular date on which open trenching will be available for a grantee’s installation of conduit, pedestals, and/or vaults, and laterals to be provided at a grantee’s expense. A grantee shall also provide specifications as needed for trenching.
(B) Costs of trenching and easements required to bring service to the development shall be borne by the developer or property owner; except that if a grantee fails to install its conduit, pedestals, and/or vaults, and laterals within five working days of the date the trenches are available, as designated in the notice given by the developer or property owner, then should the trenches be closed after the five-day period, the cost of new trenching is to be borne by a grantee.
