All utilities shall be underground pursuant to Code (Sec. 18-33) including electrical power, cable, telephone, etc. Applicants inquired the power line being placed underground and reclaim water? City staff stated this is a standard comment but providing an underground service line and an irrigation meter would be suggested.
