Notice shall also be given to all gas, electric service, and telephone companies. Notice shall also be given to all consumers of gas, water, and sewer services which will be discontinued during the construction. The notice shall be published one time in a legal newspaper at least 20 days prior to the beginning of the construction by the party undertaking the construction, and the notice shall state at what date connections must be made and excavation completed.
