<br />rather than overhead facilities and shall convert existing overhead facilities to underground facilities
<br />as and when equipment replacement is undertaken, or when other existing overhead utilities are
<br />placed underground, unless such replacement is unsafe, impractical, or economically unreasonable.
<br />Line extension policies and procedures established by the grantee, and uniformly applied through its
<br />service area, shall be the standard in determining what is "practical, impractical or economically
<br />unreasonable" under this chapter; provided, that no new overhead utility facilities shall be
<br />constructed or established in any area set aside for public park, school, playground or athletic
<br />purposes. (Ord. 82-7 § 19, 1982).
<br />12.56.120 Work by county.
<br />The laying, construction, maintenance and operation of the system of improvements granted under
<br />the franchise shall not preclude the county, its agents or its contractors from blasting, grading or
<br />doing other necessary road work in a reasonably careful and prudent manner contiguous to the
<br />grantee's improvement; provided, that the grantee shall be given a minimum two business days'
<br />prior notice, in writing, signed by the director of public works of the blasting or excavating in order

<br />grading, surfacing or paving same, or altering, changing, repairing or improving same, the grantee
<br />upon written notice by the county shall, at its/his own expense, as soon as reasonably practicable, so
<br />raise, lower or move its/his lines or improvements to conform to such new grades as may be
<br />established, or place the property in such locations or positions as shall cause the least interference
<br />with any such improvements or work thereon as contemplated by the county and the county shall in
<br />no wise be held liable for any damage to the grantee that may occur by reason of the county
<br />improvements, repairs or maintenance performed in a reasonably careful and prudent manner, or by
<br />the exercise of any rights so reserved in this section or grant. If the county shall improve such streets,
<br />avenues, alleys, roads, highways, rights -of -way or other county properties, the grantee shall on
<br />written notice by county officials, at its/his own expense, replace such pipes, lines or system as may
<br />be in or through the improved sub -grade of such improvement, with such materials as shall conform
<br />to or exceed the applicable standards of the industry for use in such streets, avenues, roads,
<br />highways, rights -of -way or other county properties. (Ord. 82-7 § 13, 1982).

<br />notice by the director of public works, shall temporarily remove or relocate its/his line of pipes or
<br />improvements at its/his own expense during the installation and replace same at its/his own sole
<br />cost and expense under the supervision of the county. (Ord. 82-7 § 14, 1982).
