Buried Drops Sample Clauses

Buried Drops. Wherever service lines of utilities are buried, the Operator shall whenever possible bury any underground Subscriber drops, buried as part of any routine maintenance or repairs or any other underground drops buried subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement, at a minimum depth of 12-18 inches. Prior to burying any drop that will cross the lot of a dwelling unit, the Operator, or its representative, shall make reasonable efforts to contact the occupant of the dwelling unit to discuss the location of the drop to be buried. The purpose of the discussion shall be for the Operator to work in good faith with the occupant of the dwelling unit to bury the drop in a location that will: (1) minimize the physical disruption to the lot of the dwelling unit; (2) minimize interference with the occupant's use of the lot; and (3) provide the Operator with a reasonable path for burying its drop. In the event that a Subscriber drop not buried a minimum of 12-18 inches is damaged, by the City or Colorado Springs Utilities because such does not meet the minimum depth requirements as set forth above, the Operator waives any claims against the City or Colorado Springs Utilities for reinstallation, repair, or as otherwise may be asserted by the Operator.
