Latest version.
  • The grantor reserves the right to lay and permit to be laid electric conduits, water, gas, cable, and other pipelines or cables, sewers, and to do and permit to be done any underground work that may be deemed necessary or proper by the grantor or other governmental entity having jurisdiction, across, along, or under any street, alley, public way, easement, place, or other public ground. In permitting such work to be done, the grantor shall not be liable to the grantee herein for any damages so occasioned, nor shall the grantor in doing such work be liable to the grantee for any damages not wilfully and unnecessarily occasioned. Whenever, by reason of establishing a grade or by reason of changes in the grade of any street, or by reason of the widening, grading, paving, or otherwise improving present or future streets, alleys, or other public ways and places, or in the location or manner of construction of any water pipes, electric conduits, sewers, or other underground structure, it shall be deemed necessary by the grantor or other governmental entity having jurisdiction to alter, change, adapt, or conform the mains, pipelines, service pipe, or other apparatus or appurtenances of the grantee hereto, such alterations, or changes, shall be made by the grantee as ordered in writing by the grantor or other governmental entity having jurisdiction without claim for reimbursement or compensation for damages against the grantor. If the grantor shall require the grantee to adapt or conform its pipelines, pipes, structures, or apparatus, appurtenances, or other appliances, or in any way to alter, relocate, or change its property to enable any other person or corporation, except the grantor, the State of Florida, or other governmental entity of the state, to use said street, alley, easement, highway, the grantee shall be reimbursed by the person or corporation desiring or occasioning such change for any loss, cost, or expense caused by or arising out of such change, alterations, or relocation of grantee's property. The grantee further agrees that it shall not interfere with, change, or injure any water pipes, drains, sewers or other facilities or equipment, unless it has received specific permission from the grantor.
