Site Elements/Features - Utility Distribution System
In addition to the Electrical and Telecommunications Service required by the cemetery, ADP requirements will include one 56 k digital circuit. The need for conduit or direct burial will be determined on a project by project basis. However, spare conduits will be installed between buildings to accommodate future, unknown needs.
Route the main distribution systems for utilities immediately adjacent to roadways within 3000 millimeters (10 feet) of the curb or pavement edge. Route any utility lines through interment areas between sections, in order to avoid obstruction of gravesites within burial sections. Install all utility lines, including electric power and communication lines, underground. Exceptions may be made depending upon excessive cost or remoteness of source from developed areas of the cemetery.
