The permittee shall not interfere with any existing utility without the written consent of the public works director and the utility company or person owning the utility pursuant to Chapter 19.122 RCW.

In case any of said pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or apparatus should be damaged, they shall be repaired by the agency or person owning them and the expense of such repairs shall be charged to the permittee, and the permittee’s bond shall be liable therefor. The permittee shall be responsible for any damage done to any public or private property by reason of the breaking of any water pipes, sewer, gas pipe, electric conduit, or other utility and its bond shall be liable therefor.
