Each telephone utility shall perform inspections of its plant on a regular basis, and file with the Board the inspection schedule(s) on an annual basis. Routine maintenance shall be conducted on all utility plant, poles, and equipment, with any necessary repairs conducted promptly, consistent with safety and adequate service performance, and in compliance with any inspection and/or maintenance requirements at N.J.A.C. 14:3 and pursuant to any Board Order. If repairs are not feasible due to weather, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the utility, repairs shall be completed as soon as practical after the condition blocking the repair is eliminated. Such conditions may include the presence of equipment owned by one or more other entities that must act prior to the telephone utility.
