own services and all others at the same location.

d. The Engineer/Road Superintendent may require sections of the gas system to be

laid at greater depth than required by the latest CSA standard for gas pipeline

Superintendent must approve the location of the work as shown on the Plan filed

by the Gas Company, the timing of the work and any terms and conditions
