A franchisee, in accordance with applicable national, state, and local safety requirements shall, at all times, employ ordinary care and shall install and maintain and use commonly accepted methods and devices for preventing failures and accidents which are likely to cause damage, injury, or nuisance to the public.

All structures and all lines, equipment and connections in, over, under, and upon the streets, sidewalks, alleys, and public ways or places of a franchise area, wherever situated or located, shall at all times be kept and maintained in a safe, suitable condition and in good order and repair.

The city reserves the general right to see that the system of a franchisee is constructed and maintained in a safe condition. If a violation of the National Electrical Safety Code or other applicable regulation is found to exist by the city, the city will, after discussions with a franchisee, establish a reasonable time for a franchisee to make necessary repairs. If the repairs are not made within the established time frame, the city may make the repairs itself or have them made and collect all costs thereof from the franchisee. (Ord. 6798 § 3 (Exh. C), 2020.)
