The Town Highway Superintendent is authorized to issue permits, revocable
for cause, for highway crossings and for the laying of drainage, sewer and
water pipes across town highways; provided, however, that such permits shall
be issued in duplicate, one of which shall be filed in the office of the Town
Superintendent of Highways and the second of which shall be filed in the office
of the County Superintendent of Highways.
In case the applicant shall fail to make any required repairs, they
may be made by the Highway Superintendent, and the expenses thereof shall
be a lien against the property benefited by the use of the highway for such
pipes, hydrants or structures.
Such permit shall be granted upon the following conditions:
A. Such pipes and hydrants or crossing shall be so laid,
set or constructed as not to interrupt or interfere with public travel upon
the highway;
B. The applicant will replace the earth removed and leave
the highway in all respects in as good condition as before the laying of said
pipes or construction of such crossings;
C. The applicant will keep such pipes and hydrants or crossing
in repair and save the town harmless from all damages which may accrue by
reason of their location in the highway; and
D. Upon notice by the Town Superintendent of Highways, the
applicant will make the repairs required for the protection of the highway.
