As a condition to use public property, utility business shall at its own expense, repair or cause repair to any private property, public utility system component, public improvement, public rights-of-way or public property damaged by such location, construction, reconstruction, replacement or repair work. Utility business shall restore with sod (unless seed is approved by the city) all such property to its previous condition at its expense. If multiple utilities are involved in the restoration, the City Engineer shall assess the restoration cost equally or proportionately to the parties involved. If utility business fails to repair or arrange with the city for the proper repair of any public property after excavations or damage to the surface has been made, and after 30 days’ notice in writing to do so given to its designated representative, then the city may make such repairs at the expense of utility business.
