(a) The Company is further granted the right, privilege and authority to excavate in, occupy and use any and all streets, alleys, viaducts, bridges, roads, lanes and other public ways and places under the supervision of the properly constituted authority for the purpose of bringing gas into, within and through the Town, and supplying gas to said Town and the inhabitants thereof and in the territory adjacent thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall so locate its plants, works, transmission and distribution structures, equipment, mains and pipes within said Town in a manner to meet with the approval of the Town and, further, in locating said facilities, shall do so in such manner as to cause minimum interference with the proper use of streets, alleys and other public ways and places and to cause minimum interference with the rights or reasonable convenience of property owners whose property adjoins any of said streets, alleys, or other public ways and places. Should it become necessary for the Company, in exercising its rights and performing its duties hereunder, to interfere with any sidewalk, graveled or paved streets, roads or alleys or any other public or private improvement, the Company shall repair at its own expense in a workmanlike manner, subject to the approval by the Town, such sidewalk, graveled or paved street, road, alley or other improvement after the installation of its pipes or other structures.

(b) The Company shall use due care not to interfere with or damage any water mains, sewers or other structures now in place or which may hereafter be placed in said streets, alleys, or other public places, and said Company shall, at its own expense, repair in a workmanlike manner, subject to the approval of the Town, any such water mains, sewers or other structures which are damaged through the action of the Company; provided, however, that the Town may make such repairs and charge the reasonably incurred actual cost thereof to the Company.
