§ 5.36.440. Undergrounding.

(a)

Except as permitted by the director of public works where existing utility poles can be used for a CATV system in areas of the city which lack underground utilities, each licensee shall construct and install the various components of its CATV system underground. Amplifier boxes and pedestal mounted terminal boxes may be placed above ground if existing technology reasonably requires, but shall be of such size and design and shall be so located as not to be unsightly or unsafe.

(b)

When an area of the city is served by utility poles and that area converts to underground utilities, it shall be the responsibility of the licensee, at its sole cost, to relocate its CATV facilities in a common underground facility along with other utility providers.
