With all new customers applying for a new meter on a new home, garage, temporary meter, owner's meter, apartment meter, a customer must meet all service requirements for electric service. Such requirements include approval from each of the following: TMLP Customer Service, TMLP Engineering/ Line Department, and Wire Inspector.
First, a customer must submit a completed service application as well as remit a deposit (if required) in full prior to TMLP Customer Service approval. Additionally, for all new building structures, the TMLP requires a copy of the Building Permit. The only exception for the Building Permit submittal is for installation of Owners Meters and Service Upgrades.
Secondly, any particular service requirements stipulated by the TMLP must be completed prior to approval from the TMLP Engineering / Line Department.
Thirdly, it is the responsibility of the premise owner to notify the town's wire inspector once electrical work is completed. TMLP must be notified by the town's wire inspector prior to installing the meter at the premise. Once all requirements for electric service are met and approved, the typical meter installation period is two to five business days depending upon the existing service backlog.
