§2183. Public utilities
A. A compact shall have the power to make reasonable regulations for the installation, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, relocation, and removal of any public utility, railroad, vehicular crossings of railroads, pipeline company, or other entity, in, on, along, over, or under a project. Whenever a compact shall determine that it is necessary that any public utility facilities which now are, or hereafter may be, located in, on, along, over, or under a project should be relocated in such project, or should be removed from such project, or should be carried along or across the project by grade separation, the owner or operator of such facilities shall relocate or remove the same in accordance with the order of the compact; however, the cost and expenses of such relocation or removal or grade separation, including the cost of installing such facilities in a new location or new locations, and the cost of any land, or any rights-of-way or interest in lands, and any other rights acquired to accomplish such relocation or removal, and the cost of maintenance of grade separation structures, shall be paid by the compact as a part of the cost of such project.
In case of any such relocation or removal of public utility facilities, the owners or operators of the same, their successors or assigns, may use and operate such public utility facilities, with the necessary appurtenances, in the new location or new locations, for as long a period, and upon the same terms and conditions, as they had the right to maintain and operate such public utility facilities in their former location or locations.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section, any utility allowed to exist on a compact's right-of-way at the request of the utility pursuant to R.S. 48:2180(6), shall be responsible for any cost of relocation, removal, or grade separation and all expenses related thereto.
