A. The gas company may discontinue or refuse to supply gas for any gas piping, fixture or gas appliance which it finds to be defective, or in such condition as to endanger life and property; also, the gas company may discontinue or refuse to supply any consumer gas for any reason which may be dangerous to life and property; provided, however, that the gas company shall so notify the consumer with a written notice.

B. In all cases in which the supplying of gas has been discontinued, the supplying of gas shall not be resumed until authorized by the inspector.

C. The gas company shall save harmless the city from all suits and actions of every description brought against the city for damages caused by the gas company or its agents and sustained by person, persons or property.

D. The gas company shall file with the city detailed plans and/or maps of all gas pipes or mains and fixtures that have been installed underneath public properties, and said plan or maps shall show the size, location and depth of the distribution system.

E. The gas company shall file with the city detailed plans and specifications and any other information prescribed by the city engineer of all gas pipes, mains and fixtures to be laid or installed. Only after examining the plans and approval given by the city engineer can a permit be issued. The permit shall specify the location of public properties, a description of work to be performed, and time allowed for completion. Acceptance of the work performed under a permit shall not prevent the city from making claim against the gas company for any work completed or defective work. The fact that an inspector was present during the progress of construction shall not relieve the gas company from responsibility for defects discovered after the completion of the work.

F. If the gas company has failed to restore the surface of the public properties to their original and proper condition upon the expiration of the time fixed by such permit, the city engineer shall, if he deems it advisable, have the right to do all work. The gas company shall be liable for the expense, and the city shall have a cause for such work.

G. The gas company shall not interfere with any existing utility without the written consent of the city engineer and any movement or change of same will be done at the expense of the gas company.
