Contact Us for Temporary Service at Construction Sites
We'll provide a temporary service for construction at a cost of $641.06 per overhead installation and $658.80 per underground installation under the following guidelines:
- Requestor must complete an application form for each temporary service requested. Forms may be obtained by contacting one of our New Business Services offices.
- Each application must include a check, made payable to Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., in the appropriate amount to cover installation and removal of temporary O&R services.
- Each installation must be inspected and approved, usually by a Fire Underwriter's inspector appointed by the municipality.
- The Fire Underwriter's Electrical Approval Certificate must be delivered to the appropriate O&R New Business Services office. A work order to energize the service will be issued only after we complete our own inspection of the installation.
Contact Us Before Building Demolition
If you're planning the demolition of an existing structure, it's likely that the building you'll be removing has electric, and possibly natural gas, service connections. Before starting your work, please contact us to make sure all utilities that may pose a danger to workers have been removed. We'll generally complete the removal of these services within 10 working days of notification.
You must also call 811 to request the mark out of all underground utilities in the vicinity, and to schedule the required pre-demolition conference with all member operators who have underground facilities at or near the demolition area. Demolition can’t proceed until you receive confirmation that both the electric and/or gas service lines have been cut.
Some municipalities may require you to provide a letter from us stating that all gas and electric facilities have been removed. To obtain a letter, please contact the New Business Services office nearest you.
