No person, firm or corporation shall place any obstruction, impediment or in any manner
interfere or obstruct any City utility easement. No permanent structures of any kind
or character shall be placed in, on, over or about any City utility easement which
may interfere or prevent the City from operating, maintaining, repairing or replacing
any utility line within such easement. The placement of any temporary structure over
a City utility easement is permissible so long as the person placing the same receives
written approval from the Water and/or Sewer Board prior to the placement of the same.
Any person, firm or corporation placing either a permanent structure in derogation
of this Statute or temporary structure with permission of the Water and/or Sewer Board
shall pay the actual cost of removing the same in the event that the City requires
access to its easement to repair, operate, replace or maintain the same. Actual cost
is hereby defined as all costs associated with the removal of the impediment be it
temporary or permanent. Such costs shall be assessed to the owner of the property
which assessment shall be paid within 30 days of notification to the property owner
in writing by the City. In the event that the property owner does not pay the assessment
within the time period prescribed, the same may be placed as a lien against the real
estate in the Office of the Clerk of the County Commission of Putnam County, West
Virginia.
