               utilities providing either telephone or electric service are underground at the time
               of installation. In areas where either telephone or electric utility facilities are
               above ground at the time of installation, grantee may install its service above ground,
               provided that at such time as those facilities are required to be placed underground
               by the county or are placed underground, the grantee shall likewise place its services
               underground without additional cost to the county or to the individual subscriber
               so served with the county. Where not otherwise required to be placed underground by
               this article or the franchise, the grantee's system shall be located underground at
               the request of the adjacent property owner, provided that the excess cost over the
               aerial location shall be borne by the property owner making the request. All cable
               passing under the roadway shall be installed in conduit.
