J/~mes E. Clem, Mayor
Town of Leesburg
WHEREAS, the disruption of utility services caused by construction related activities is a problem
for both the utility companies and town and county residents; and
WHEREAS, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors adopted an amended Underground Facilities
Protection Ordinance on March 5, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the county ordinance contains penalty provisions which include revocation of Building,
Grading, Plumbing, Electrical and other permits issued by Loudoun County related to an excavation or
demolition which damages underground utilities; and
WHEREAS, an underground utilities protection statute adopted and enforced by the town would
not be as effective as the county's ordinance because the town does not control building, grading, or other
construction related permits.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the town of Leesburg in Virginia as follows:
SECTION I. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is hereby requested to authorize and direct
the county staff to administer and enforce Loudoun County's Underground Facilities Protection Ordinance
within the corporate limits of the Town of Leesburg.
SECTION II. The Town Manager is directed to send this resolution to the Board of Supervisors
and County Administrator and to assist the county staff in the enforcement of said ordinance.
