Should any house or building moving occur or be necessary, and it becomes necessary in such work to remove or disturb any of the property or pipes of the city’s gas distribution system, the same shall not be done except upon reasonable written notice to and written permission received from the Utilities Superintendent; who shall then order paid in advance the actual cost of moving the said pipe and other appurtenances, and such cost shall be paid by the applicant prior to the moving of the building or house. All the expense of removing, changing, and replacing the property of the gas distribution system shall be paid out of the deposit made prior to such moving, and any surplus remaining after all expenses are paid shall be returned to the applicant; provided, that if in the course of moving the said building or house it becomes apparent that additional expense will be incurred, such additional deposit as deemed necessary may be demanded.
(Prior Code, § 3-1012)
