§ 151.19. Utility distribution lines.

A.

No effective approval shall be given to any allotment plat unless and until the allotter has filed with the Director of Public Service:

1.

Agreements with the utility companies (which, together with their successors and assigns, are hereafter referred to as the companies), made on terms satisfactory to the companies and providing for the installation of the electric distribution and communication lines in the allotment according to the plan filed; and

2.

Statements by the companies indicating that the allotter has granted to the companies, in form satisfactory to the companies, all easements necessary for installation, operation, and maintenance of service, including street lighting, in the allotment.

B.

In all new allotments or reallotments, all utility lines, including those for street lighting, shall be installed underground. All owners or petitioners for the subdivision of land shall grant easements for such lines and areas as are needed by the utilities for installation, maintenance, and replacement of their lines and needed equipment, including street lighting. Street lights shall be installed by the utility company when ordered by the Director. However, in all new allotments street lights shall be installed prior to completion of the development and release of the developer's bond. In urban renewal areas the street lighting installations, which may be owned by the city, shall be made as directed by the Director.
