Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the town from constructing storm or sanitary sewers, grading, paving, repairing or altering any public rights-of-way, or laying down, repairing or removing water mains, traffic signal control systems, town fiber plant or constructing or establishing any public utility, service or other public work that the town may operate or undertake now or in the future. All work shall be done, insofar as practicable, in a manner as not to obstruct, injure or prevent the free use and operation of poles, wires, conduits, conductors, pipes or appurtenances of grantee. If town in its reasonable judgment shall determine that grantee’s facilities interfere with the construction location or repair of any public right-of-way or public improvement, then all facilities of grantee shall be removed or replaced or temporarily disconnected, in a manner as shall be directed by the town so that the same shall not interfere with the public works of the town. The removal or replacement shall be at the expense of grantee; provided, however, that nothing in this chapter shall preclude grantee from seeking reimbursement or removal or replacement costs from any public funds generally available to rights-of-way users for a reimbursement of the costs.
