915.01. Placement of Utilities
1. All authorized public underground utilities shall be located within the right-of-way of a public street or
within an easement designated for such use. Utility owners are required to apply for a right-of-way
registration permit with the City prior to working within the right-of-way unless a prior legally binding
agreement is otherwise in place. See 915.05.
2. No other underground utilities, such as private lawn sprinkler systems, yard lighting, etc., shall be installed
within a public right-of-way or easement except by authorization of the Department. Such authorization,
if issued, shall require the applicant to assume all repair costs of the applicant's facilities should they be
damaged during the course of installation, maintenance or repair of any of the public utilities authorized
to occupy said right-of-way or easement.
