Sec. 25-48. - Utility main extensions.#

(a)

Permit applications for all utility main extensions; water, gas, sewer, underground telephone and electric cable; shall be filed with the public services office 30 days in advance of anticipated date of construction. These permits will be reviewed by all appropriate department heads before a permit is issued. The applicant shall include a plan and profile, stamped by a Rhode Island Registered Professional Engineer, of the proposed utility main extension in a format acceptable to the public works director. As a condition of said permit, the applicant shall be required to:

(1)

Install service laterals for each respective utility to the property line for any parcel abutting the proposed utility main extension, provided, however, the director of public works may waive this requirement for gas service laterals if, in his opinion, it is unlikely that said gas service lateral will be put to use within five years from its installation.

(2)

Completely repave and repair the roadway from curbline to curbline. The scope and limits of the road repair shall be determined by the director of public works and shall include, but not be limited to, full depth trench repair, asphalt removal and disposal and/or reclaiming the roadway from curb-to-curb and placement of new bituminous concrete binder and surface course asphalt.

(b)

Proposed location of the utility main extension within the town right-of-way will be reviewed and approved by the director of public works. Temporary and permanent trench restorations shall be clearly noted on the construction drawings and approved by the director of public works on a case by case basis and in accordance with the existing bituminous road surface and gravel subbase. The scope and limits of the road repair shall be determined by the director of public works and shall include, but not be limited to, full depth trench repair, asphalt removal and disposal and/or reclaiming the roadway from curb-to-curb and placement of new bituminous concrete binder and surface course asphalt.
