201. MUNICIPAL AND STATE CERTIFICATION A. Form 1190 The Company cannot install services to any lot until it receives written authorization from the municipality that the lot complies with all applicable shoreland zoning and subdivision laws, or other written arrangements have been made between the Company and the municipal officers as stated in Title 30-A M.R.S.A. Section 4406 and Title 38 M.R.S.A. Section 444. Services should not be installed until an authorized municipal officer issues the required certification on CMP form 1190, unless the Company gives the contractor written notification that it is not necessary to obtain form 1190. B. Form 1360 or State Single-Family Dwelling Application Maine law (Title 32 M.R.S.A. § 1105) prohibits the Company from activating the electricity to a newly constructed single-family dwelling until the Company receives certification by a State or local electrical inspector, master electrician or limited electrician in house wiring; that the wiring complies with the NEC. Note: the Law requires certification for any new (first time) electrical installation/electric service made in/on a single-family dwelling constructed after July 1, 1987. The Law does not apply to the installation of mobile/manufactured or modular home wiring or services. CMP form 1360 is used where there is no local electrical inspector and the electrician is certifying the complete wiring installation. The State Single-Family 5 5
6 Dwelling Application is used when the homeowner does the wiring and the State inspector certifies the wiring. 202. SERVICE REQUIRING EXTENSION OF LINES Line extensions shall be in accordance with the provisions of the MPUC’s Chapter 395 “Construction Standards and Ownership and Cost Allocation Rules for Electric Distribution Line Extensions,” and, the Company’s filed tariff or Term & Condition (T&C) on “Extensions." See paragraph 219 of this handbook for more details on customer constructed/owned lines. 203. INSTALLATION OF SERVICE-SUPPLY LINES The Company is not required to install service-supply lines prior to the time that the wiring of the premises is actually in progress and the structure sufficiently completed to provide a safe and suitable terminus for the service-supply lines. 204. TEMPORARY SERVICE Customers taking service on a temporary basis are required to pay an amount equivalent to the cost of installing and removing the Company's service facilities, including the nonsalvable costs of material used. Temporary service, provided typically for building construction purposes, is intended to be used for a limited time period at a location where the facilities devoted especially to the service are not expected to have further usefulness at that location after the temporary period. There shall be no other attachments to the temporary structure; and, if it becomes unsafe, service may be disconnected (See paragraph 209). In special cases advance payment is required. See Illustration No. 7 in Section XII for overhead temporary service structure requirements. See Par. 918 and Illustration No.s 9 and 11 for underground temporary or permanent service structure requirements. 6
