An Act relative to construction for the installation or repair of utility lines
This bill requires gas companies, utility corporations, and transmission line companies to provide written notice to property owners at least 14 days before starting ground-digging or construction projects. The notification must specify the time and expected duration of the work and must be sent to owners whose real estate is located within 100 feet of the construction site. By amending existing state laws, the legislation ensures that residents in affected areas receive advance warning about upcoming utility installations or repairs.
