18.16.010 When required.

Whenever the roadway within a public right-of-way is being installed, replaced, or substantially repaired, all power, communication and similar utility service lines within that right-of-way shall be placed underground as part of the roadway project. This undergrounding of utility lines shall be done consistent with the standards of the serving utility and the city. (Ord. 2569 § 1, 1980)

18.16.020 Waiver.

The director of the department of public services may, in whole or in part, waive the undergrounding requirement of Section 18.16.010 if he or she determines that it is unreasonable or impractical to underground utility lines in a particular right-of-way. (Ord. 2569 § 2, 1980)
