§ 18-30. Temporary electrical service.

(a)

Temporary electrical service may be installed, upon approval of the building official, for the following purposes:

(1)

To supply electrical power for the purpose of hoisting material used in buildings under construction or remodeling and for the purpose of lighting such buildings or structures in connection with their construction.

(2)

To light tents or buildings used for gatherings or shows where those tents or buildings will only be used for a short duration of time or for decorative purposes and where wiring will only be used for a short time.

(3)

To allow the electrical current to be turned on in certain parts of wiring installations which have been made safe to the satisfaction of the building official, in order to allow the testing of certain electrical equipment and in order to allow tenants, lessees or owners the use of certain completed parts of buildings before the entire job is completed.

(b)

Applications for temporary electrical service shall state the period of time the service is required and the necessity therefor. No temporary approval shall be issued for a period of more than 90 days. If it is necessary for temporary service to remain for more than 90 days, a request for such temporary approval shall be made in writing by the person holding the permit. Upon expiration of temporary approval, such service shall be immediately discontinued.
