An application for a blanket utility permit shall be filed and a permit issued prior to commencement of any work. All work shall be performed in accordance with this title and the permit requirements. The utility shall notify the municipality of the location, description, and proposed dates of commencement and completion of the work under the blanket permit prior to commencement of the work.

    B.

    Requirement to submit log of work. The utility shall keep a log of all work performed under a blanket utility permit. The log shall include a brief description of the work performed and its location. Timely submittal of the log, as specified in the permit, shall satisfy the notification requirement in subparagraph A. The first log submittal shall occur prior to the start of work and shall include the proposed start and completion dates. Subsequent submittals shall note additional or changed work. The log may be submitted to the municipality electronically.
