Pre-existing utilities Sample Clauses
The "Pre-existing utilities" clause defines the responsibilities and rights regarding utility infrastructure that existed on a property before the commencement of a project or agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies which party is responsible for identifying, protecting, or relocating existing utilities such as water, gas, electricity, or telecommunications lines. For example, it may require the contractor to verify the location of all utilities before starting work or specify that the property owner must disclose known utility lines. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes and unexpected costs by clearly allocating responsibility for dealing with utilities that are already in place, thereby reducing the risk of damage, delays, or safety hazards during the project.
