3) Locate and stake all property lines and corners prior to a site visit. This information assists OPALCO in determining whether easements are necessary. Failure to identify property boundaries may result in a charge for the site visit.
4) Schedule a site visit with OPALCO and the responsible party or designated representative. OPALCO’s engineering personnel are available for site visits Tuesday through Thursday. No site visits shall be scheduled for Monday or Friday. Appointments shall be scheduled two weeks in advance to ensure the availability of proper personnel. Replies to written correspondence may take four to six weeks.
What’s next? When the application and site visit are complete, the member will move forward with a Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC).
