THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA HEREBY ORDAINS:

SECTION 2. This authorization is conditional upon compliance with the following requirements within two (2) years from the date this Ordinance becomes law:

(a) The filing of an agreement, satisfactory to the Law Department, by the owner or owners of property affected thereby, to release the City from all damages or claims for damages which may arise by reason of the City Plan changes authorized herein; in lieu thereof, provided that the party in interest has demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the City, best efforts to obtain such agreements, and that such efforts are unsuccessful, the party in interest shall file an agreement and bond with corporate surety, satisfactory to the Law Department, to indemnify the City for all such damages or claims for damages.

Such agreements shall provide that no changes in grades shall be made and that no buildings, fences or other structures, either overhead, underground or upon the surface shall be constructed within the lines of the right-of-way or abutting thereon, unless the plans for such structures shall first be submitted to and approved by the Philadelphia Water Department. The agreements shall also grant to the officers, agents, employees and contractors of the City and the Philadelphia Water Department, the right-of-access to and occupation of the right-of-way at any and all times for the purpose of construction, reconstruction, maintenance, alterations, repairs and inspection of present and future structures.
