  • The Company shall provide space, to the extent available, on its poles so long as said poles are occupied by the Company and space, to the extent available, in its main conduits existing on the date of passage of this ordinance. Such space shall be provided for the exclusive use of the Township which use shall be limited to accommodating the wires or electrical conductors required for one-way signal control in connection with Municipal police patrol, fire alarm signal control and traffic signal control systems only; but for no other uses or purposes, alone or in conjunction therewith; nor for circuits for the supply of electrical energy for traffic or other signals; nor for wires, conductors, cable or the equivalent which provides a means of transmitting any signal to a private, commercial or residential location, and which is normally provided by a nongovernmental supplier, provided, further, that no such use or attachment by the Township shall interfere with the plant or facilities of or the use thereof by the Company. All costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith shall be paid by the Township. It shall be the obligation of the Township to attach its wires to the poles or place its electric conductors in the conduits or manholes of the Company, provided that before proceeding with said work, either by itself or by a person, firm or corporation engaged to perform such work, the Township shall give the Company 30 days' prior notice in writing. All such work shall be performed under the supervision of said Company. The Township agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Company from and against all claims and liabilities resulting from any injury or damage to the person or property of any person, firm or corporation caused by or arising out of the Township's installation, maintenance, operation or removal of wires or facilities or the Township's use or enjoyment of the Company's plant or facilities as provided under this section, except that if such injury or damage shall be caused by joint or concurring negligence of the Company and Township, the same shall be borne by them to the extent of their respective fault or negligence.
