2006.2The permit shall be issued and accepted with the understanding that the occupation of the tank space is permitted merely as an accommodation to the owner of the abutting premises, and that no right, title, or interest of the public is in any way waived or abridged by the issuance of the permit.

2006.4The permit shall be granted on the further condition that the owner or owners, their heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns, shall remove entirely the tank and its appurtenances, immediately upon notice from the Mayor that water pipes, gas pipes, sewers, conduits, or other pipe or underground construction are to be installed in the space occupied by the tank. The tank shall be removed from the public space or to a new location to be designed by the Mayor without cost to the District, so as to leave a space clear and sufficient in the judgement of the Mayor for the introduction and maintenance of any underground construction that the Mayor deems is necessary.
