Why do I have to pay to have a pole relocated?
Since the cost of relocating a pole to accommodate a customer is an expense incurred solely to accommodate an individual request/requirement; it must be paid by the customer specifically requesting or requiring the relocation, and not be absorbed by other rate-payers.
The only exception to the relocation provisions will be the relocation of the Board’s electric Facilities within the public right-of-way that blocks the access to the first driveway to a residential Premise.
There will be a charge for relocation work to provide any additional driveways to these Premises. Proof of driveway permits will be required prior to any relocation work. Driveway permits are available online through the City of Lansing or City of East Lansing website.
