§ 7002 Utility Relocation Agreements

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about deals between utility companies (like water or electric) and the government when big projects (like new roads or trains) happen.
  • •The deal can cover where the work happens, who pays for it, and when it gets done.
  • •It also says what happens if someone breaks the deal or stops working.

Example

The city is building a new subway line, and a water pipe needs to be moved.

The city and the water company make a deal about who pays to move the pipe, when it will happen, and what happens if the water company doesn’t do the work on time.
