A. Subject to and in accordance with any applicable rates and tariffs on file with the WUTC, the public utility shall cooperate with the city in promoting a policy of undergrounding facilities within the public right-of-way. If the city shall direct the public utility to underground theirs, such undergrounding shall be arranged and accomplished subject to and in accordance with applicable rates and tariffs on file with the WUTC (or such other regulatory agency having jurisdiction).

B. In the event that the city undertakes any public improvement which would otherwise require in the discretion of the director the relocation of the public utility’s aboveground facilities, the director may, by written notice to the public utility, direct that any such facilities be converted to underground facilities. Any such conversion shall be done subject to and in accordance with applicable schedules and tariffs on file with the WUTC (or such other regulatory agency having jurisdiction). (Ord. 1696 § 1, 1997).
