Sec. 32-106. Administration; Construction Documents

"Location of Underground Utility Lines Prior to Commencement of Work." For all work that requires excavation deeper than twelve (12) inches, the permittee accepting the permit agrees to contact the Utility Service Protection Center, "Miss Utility", and non-member utility companies, as known, in due time prior to beginning any excavation work for the purpose of having each utility companies locate its lines on site. In the event that the permittee fails to obtain the services of the utilities, then in such event, and irrespective of whether or not a utility line is ruptured, the Director may revoke the grading permit. In such event, all fees paid to the County shall be forfeited and, in order to continue work, a new application with requisite fee for a permit shall be filed. Drawings shall be reexamined to determine that all utilities have been located and verified by the utility companies having knowledge of the location of such underground utilities. However, in the event any or all of the respective utility companies fail to furnish the requisite information to the permittee within a reasonable period of time as determined by the Director under all circumstances, then, in such event, the foregoing revocation provisions shall not apply.

Builders and permittee shall place on record with each utility company a written acknowledgment that final grade has been achieved to within six (6) inches. Utility lines shall not be installed until such acknowledgement has been received by the utility companies.
