A public utility receiving notice pursuant to section 16-349 shall inform the person, public agency or public utility proposing to excavate, discharge explosives or demolish of the approximate location of its underground facilities in the area in such manner as will enable such person, public agency or public utility to establish the actual location of the underground facilities, and shall provide such other assistance in establishing the actual location of the underground facilities as the authority may require by regulations adopted pursuant to section 16-357. Such person, public agency or public utility shall designate the area of the proposed excavation, demolition or discharge of explosives as the authority may prescribe by regulations adopted pursuant to section 16-357.
