Chapter 939: Underground Utilities

Sections

939.01   Purpose

The Village has invested considerable sums of money to provide capacity (i.e. conduit) so that certain utilities and similar uses, the services for which are frequently provided by cables, wires and similar facilities located on poles above ground, may be placed underground. In order to protect and preserve the aesthetics and property values of the Downtown District, it is the purpose of this chapter to ensure future utility services will locate such facilities underground.
