Residents should not be on temporary power in their new, single-famil- y home. When construction of a new home receives approval after a final inspection by the citys Building Inspection Division, the city notifies Utah Power and Light Co. for final approval of permanent power. If you do not have an electrical meter on your home, you are on temlt porary power using power that will not operate your range and clothes dryer. Sometimes contractors do not finish their work before they allow the home to be occupied, or do not submit the necessary paperwork to City Hall. Because city records are computerized, problems may arise unless the city staff hears from the contractor or home owner, it was explained. There is usually a 5 to waiting period from the time the city clears the power until UP&L can set the meter. For further information, or to report use of temporary power, call the WVC Building Inspection Division at 120-vo- 10-d- 963-328- 3. POOR |
