A general policy of the Pu�lic Utility District shall be that all new residential single phase distribution facilities within the Cify limits will be constructed underground (transformers excluded) �vhere normal excavating conditions exist. 3. Service Connections. (A) It will be the City's responsibility to require individual property owners to convert their facilities to receive underground service and install the underground service to the property line or the District's delivery point whenever a conversion program is implemented. This is to expedite the removal of overhead lines when underground distribution service is available so the Public Utility District will not be required to maintain two distribution systems.

The City agrees to make investigations on these services and attempt to get property owner cooperation and report the reason for the property owner's delay. 4. Effective Date.
