METER REPAIRS REQUIRE PERMITS, PROPER INSPECTION
February 15, 2010 · Filed Under Events and News
Residents affected by the recent record-setting snowstorm are reminded that while repairs to electrical lines and meters are the responsibility of the utility provider, property owners are responsible for repairs to the meter bases.
Handling those repairs includes a number of requirements:
- Changing, moving or repairing electrical requires a permit from the City’s Planning and Development Department.
- Any repairs must be done by a licensed electrician who is registered with the City.
- Repairs must be inspected and approved by the City.
An online permitting system is available on the Planning and Development Department website. The site allows visitors to obtain the required permits, research registered contractors and inspectors, and request inspections.
