The permit holder shall not interfere with any existing facility without the consent of the Mayor and the owner of the facility. If it becomes necessary to relocate an existing facility this shall be done by its owner. No facility owned by the Village shall be moved to accommodate the permit holder unless the costs of such work be borne by the permit holder. The cost of moving privately owned facilities shall be similarly borne by the permit holder unless he makes other arrangements with the person owning the facility. The permit holder shall support and protect by timbers or otherwise all pipes, conduits, poles, wires or other apparatus which may be in any way affected by the excavation work, and do everything necessary to support, sustain and protect them under, over, along, or across said work. The permit holder shall secure approval of method of support and protection from the owner of the facility. In case any of said pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or apparatus should be damaged, and for this purpose pipe coating or other encasement or devices are to be considered as part of a substructure, the permit holder shall promptly notify the owner thereof. All damaged facilities shall be repaired by the agency or person owning them and the expense of such repairs shall be charged to the permit holder. The only exception will be such instances where damage is exclusively due to the negligence of the owning utility. The permit holder shall inform himself as to the existence and location of all underground facilities and protect the same against damage. (Ord. 611. Passed 4-2-84.)
