§ 50.040 PERMANENT EASEMENTS.
   (A)   Prior to approval of the EPA permit to construct, the city will require a permanent easement at least ten feet in width, centering over the proposed water main for its full length where the main is not located in dedicated city rights-of-way.
   (B)   Where the water main is to be constructed on township or county rights-of-way, the contractor/developer shall obtain all necessary permits from the authorities having jurisdiction over those rights-of-way, shall provide required bonds, and a copy of said permits shall be provided to the city before construction commences.
   (C)   Construction of water mains on state right-of-way is discouraged due to covenants placed on occupancy of their right-of-way. Where water mains are to be constructed parallel or adjacent with state right-of-way, all reasonable efforts shall be made to locate the main on a ten-foot easement next to the right-of-way.
   (D)   The contractor/developer shall obtain all necessary permits from the State Department of Transportation for occupancy and/or construction on state right-of-way. Insurance and bonds required by IDOT shall be provided by the contractor/developer.
