Hereafter before any pipelines or conduits for the transportation of
petroleum, petroleum products, gas, mineral products, water or electrical
current are laid and installed in the Township of Ridley, it shall be the
duty of such pipeline or utility company to determine from the Township Engineer
the grades which have been established in all streets contiguous to the lands
where such pipelines or waterlines and electrical conduits are to be laid.
In the event that no grades have been established for any such streets, it
shall be the duty of such pipeline company or utility company, at its own
cost and expense, to obtain the grades from the Township Engineer, which grades
shall then be approved by the Board of Township Commissioners.
After the determination of any such grade for streets as hereinbefore
set forth, no pipeline, waterline or electrical conduit may hereafter be installed
at any depth less than 30 inches from the top of the pipeline in said line
to the lowest established grade of any contiguous street or streets.
Before any installation shall be permitted as hereinbefore set forth,
such pipeline, waterline or utility company shall first make application in
writing to the Secretary of the Township to obtain its consent or permission,
which shall be given by ordinance only and upon such conditions, stipulations
and regulations as the Township Commissioners may deem proper.
