•
Developer hereby further agrees that the foregoing grants or
promises of grants include the necessary right of ingress and
egress to any part of the Property upon which the utility is
constructing or operating such facilities: That the foregoing
grants shall be for such period of time as the Utility or its
successors or assigns require such rights, privileges or easements
in the construction, ownership, maintenance, operation or expansion
of water facilities, that in the event Developer and Utility agree
that the Utility is to install any of its water facilities in lands
within the Property lying outside the streets and easements areas
described above, then Developer or the Owners shall grant to the
Utility, without cost or expense to the Utility, the necessary
easement or easements for such "private property" installation;
provided, all such "private property" installations by the Utility
shall be made in such a manner as not to interfere with the then
primary use of such "private property". The utility covenants that
it will use due diligence in ascertaining all easement locations;
however, should the Utility install any of its facilities outside a
dedicated easement area, the Utility will not be required to move
or relocate any facilities lying outside dedicated easement area,
so long as the facilities do not interfere with the then proposed
use of the area in which the facilities have been installed and so
long as the Utility obtains a private easement for such facility
location, which Developer will give if same is within his/her
reasonable power to do so. The use of easements granted by
Developer other than Utility shall preclude the use by other
utilities of these easements, such as for cable, television,
telephone, electric, or gas utilities; or as otherwise agreed to by
the Utility.
In the event Developer fails to actually deliver such easement,
this document shall serve as the Utility's authorization to
substitute the Agreement as a recorded easement sufficient for the
Utility's needs.
The Utility hereby agrees that all easement grants will be utilized
in accordance with the established and generally accepted practices
of all its facilities in any of easement areas. However, this
provision shall not be construed so as to require the Utility to
restore those improvements constructed, installed or planted within
the Utility easement which are not in accordance with the
established and generally accepted practices of the water industry
with respect to the use of utility easements.
