Title 54 Public Utilities Chapter 8 Utah Underground Conversion of Utilities Law Section 7 Reports of utilities -- Recommendations -- Estimate of costs.
54-8-7.Reports of utilities -- Recommendations -- Estimate of costs.
The public utility or utilities report shall set forth an estimate of the total underground
conversion costs and shall also indicate the costs of underground conversion of facilities of the
public utility corporations located within the boundaries of the various parcels or lots then
receiving service. The report shall also contain the public utility corporations' recommendations
concerning the feasibility of the project for the district proposed in so far as the physical
characteristics of the district and the facilities of the public utilities within the district are
concerned. The report shall make recommendations by the public utility corporations concerning
inclusion or exclusion of areas within the district or immediately adjacent to the district. The
governing body shall give careful consideration to the public utility corporations'
recommendations concerning feasibility, recognizing their expertise in this area, and may amend
the boundaries of the proposed improvement district provided that the costs and feasibility report
of the public utilities contains a cost figure on the district as amended or it may request a new
costs and feasibility report from the public utilities concerned on the basis of the amended district.
The cost estimate contained in the report shall not be considered binding on the utilities if
construction is not commenced within six months of the submission of the estimate for reasons
not within the control of the utility. Should such a delay result in a significant increase of the
conversion costs, new hearings shall be held on the creation of the district. In the event that only a
minor increase results, only the hearing on the assessments need be held again.
