An Act relative to construction for the installation or repair of utility lines

HD 1694 requires utility companies (including gas companies, corporations, and transmission line companies) to provide written notice to nearby property owners at least 14 days before digging or constructing utility lines. This notice must include the expected start time and duration of the work. It directly affects property owners whose land is adjacent to or within 100 feet of the construction site. The bill amends specific sections of the General Laws to mandate this advance notification for all utility line construction or repair projects.
