A. Grantee's distribution system shall be erected, placed, laid or otherwise installed, operated and maintained in such a manner as will, consistent with reasonable necessity, least interfere with other public uses of the public ways.
B. Before grantee shall excavate or disturb the surface of any public way, except in the case of emergency, at least forty eight (48) hours' notice shall be given to the city engineer or other proper authority designated in writing by the grantor. After such excavation or disturbance the grantee shall, with due diligence and dispatch, place the public ways in a condition in compliance with the grantor's reasonable standards and specifications.
C. Upon grantee's failure to commence or complete any construction, maintenance or restoration work required by this chapter with due diligence and dispatch, the grantor may cause such work to be done after written notice to grantee, given so as to afford grantee an opportunity to commence and complete such work within a reasonable time. The cost of such construction, maintenance or restoration incurred by grantor upon grantee's failure shall then be charged and collected from the grantee.
D. Grantor reserves the right to make and enforce reasonable regulations concerning the construction of grantee's distribution system located along, across, over, or under the public ways and to reasonably designate where the distribution system's works and pipelines shall be placed, so long as such regulations are not in conflict with the laws of the state of Oklahoma or the orders, rules or regulations of the Oklahoma corporation commission or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
