§ 58.4-808. Placement of facilities.

(1)

Cable system operators shall follow county requirements for placement of facilities in public rights-of-way or county-owned property including the specific location of facilities in the public rights-of-way or county-owned property, and shall in any event install facilities in a manner that minimizes interference with the use of county-owned property and public rights-of-way by others, including others that may be installing cable systems, other communications facilities, or utilities. The county shall have the right to inspect all facilities being placed underground before they are covered. It shall be a cable operator's responsibility to arrange for inspection of underground facilities by the appropriate county official, and the county shall have the right to require an operator to reopen a trench or other underground installation if any facilities are covered before the county has inspected them.

(2)

Upon order of the county administrator, all work which does not comply with the permit, the approved plans or specifications for the work, or the requirements of this division, the franchise, or other applicable law, shall be promptly removed by the cable operator at its expense.
