Policy for the Accommodation of Utility Facilities Within the Rights-of-Way of all Public County Roads

The purpose of this Policy is to regulate the installation of utility facilities within the rights-of-way of the County­Federal Aid, State Aid Systems roads, and other public roads of Warren County, Mississippi. The County has the responsibility to maintain its highway rights-of-way in such a manner as will preserve the integrity, safety and function of the highway facilities. Since the manner in which utilities cross or otherwise occupy highway rights­of-way can affect the appearance, safety, and maintenance of the highway, it is necessary that such use and occupancy be authorized and reasonably regulated.
