- Can I start my service on the same day?
-
The City does not promise same-day service; however, we will make every attempt to see that our customer's request to start, stop or transfer service is handled as efficiently as possible. Please note a few exceptions:
- If the location of your request service has been off for six months or longer a Safety Inspection must be ordered by the owner of the property and service will not be given until the property passes the safety inspection.
- If your home or business is a new service point, it may take longer.
