Section 165:45-3-3 - Service lines

(a) Upon application by any bona fide applicant for service, a utility shall, at its own expense, furnish and install a stopcock and service line of suitable capacity to the meter location.

(b) Where by agreement between the utility and the consumer the meter is located at a point other than at the property line or curb line of the consumer, the proper consumer's service line shall be installed and maintained by or at the expense of the consumer. The utility shall install and maintain the service line up to the property or curb line and all measurement equipment wherever located. Any such agreement hereafter made shall be in writing, signed by the consumer first taking service thereunder, and shall be binding upon all consumers subsequently receiving service at the premises. The agreement shall not be deemed a special contract under 165:45-15-2.

(c) Where a utility and consumer cannot agree upon the location, dimensions, and type of equipment to be installed, the Commission shall, upon application of either the consumer or the utility and after notice and hearing, designate the installation to be made.

(d) When the installation of a service line requires a trench to remain open on the consumer's property for an inspection or waiver of inspection, the utility shall perform the inspection, or request that the inspection be performed if done by a third party, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the installation.

(e) All open trenches shall be clearly marked for the safety of the public using, at a minimum, caution tape or flags.
