When the city is changing a right-of-way and makes a written request, a provider is required to move or remove its system from the right-of-way, without cost to the city, to the extent provided in Chapter 12.05 WPCC. This obligation does not apply to systems originally located on private property pursuant to a private easement, which property was later incorporated into the right-of-way, if that private easement grants a superior vested right. This obligation exists whether or not the provider has obtained an excavation permit. [Code 2000 § 16-13-32].
