§ A156-10. Use and installation.

A. 

The company or any person authorized by the company to erect, construct or maintain any of the property of the company used in the transmission or reception of cable television service shall at all times employ due care under the facts and circumstances and shall maintain and install said property of the company in accordance with commonly accepted methods and principles in the cable television industry so as to prevent failures and accidents likely to cause damage or injury to members of the public. All cable television system equipment shall conform to those standards of the National Electrical Code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters which exist at the time said equipment is installed or replaced.

B. 

The company agrees to make its best efforts to locate all cable television system equipment so as to cause the least possible interference reasonably to be expected with the usual use of the streets and so as to cause reasonably minimal interference with the rights of property owners abutting said streets, and in no event shall any such cable television system equipment be located so as to substantially and regularly interfere with the usual public travel on any street of the municipality.

C. 

Whenever the company shall cause or any person on its behalf shall cause any injury or damage to any public property or street by or because of the installation, maintenance or operation of the cable television system equipment, such injury or damage shall be remedied as soon as reasonably possible upon notice to the company from the municipality in such fashion as directed by the supervisor of the municipality unless ordinances of the municipality shall make other provisions therefor and the municipality notifies the company of said other provisions. It is understood that the municipality has no expressed responsibility for examination of the condition of the cable system.

D. 

The company is hereby granted the authority to trim trees upon and overhanging the streets of and abutting private property in the municipality to the minimum extent necessary so as to prevent the branches from coming in contact with the wires, cables and other equipment of the company's cable television system, subject to the rights of the owners of adjoining property for authorization to enter in and upon said land for the purpose of trimming trees.
