BACKGROUND
The current Gaston County Fee Schedule contains a “Temporary Electric Fee” for $100.00. Currently, this fee is used when applicants need power at a site before all final inspections are performed and/or approved. Having power and/or gas connection prior to final inspections allow customers to test systems and contractors to complete portions of projects during periods of warmth and cold conditions while continuing to work in an acclimated climate.
This Board Action, if approved, will extend the option for temporary electric and gas services while homes are under construction, and authorizes staff to amend the Gaston County Fee Schedule accordingly.
