A. A right-of-way use permit shall not be required of utilities or franchised utilities when responding to emergencies that require work in the right-of-way, such as water or sewer main breaks, gas leaks, downed power lines or similar emergencies; provided, that the department shall be notified by the responding utility or city contractor verbally or in writing, as soon as practicable following onset of an emergency. Nothing herein shall relieve a responding utility or city contractor from the requirement to apply for a right-of-way use permit within 48 hours after beginning emergency work in the right-of-way.

B. The director shall determine whether permits shall be required for routine maintenance and construction work performed by city utilities and city maintenance crews. (Ord. 5009 § 8, 1997; Ord. 3533 § 1, 1985.)
