The company shall temporarily, upon request, raise, lower or remove its cables and wires in order to facilitate the moving of buildings, vehicles, equipment and machinery, or in other similar circumstances. Where such property is Township-owned, the cost of such activity shall be that of the company. Where such property is privately owned, the cost shall be at the responsibility of the requesting party.
    D. 
    Removal or trimming of trees. During the exercise of its rights and privileges under this franchise, the company shall have the authority to trim trees upon and overhanging streets, alleys, sidewalks or other public places of the municipality so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and cable of the company.

The Township may request the company to examine specific street(s) for trees in contact with wires and cables of the company.
