Requires utility service providers to notify BPU of scheduled service work; permits government agencies and utility service providers to access BPU online database of scheduled service work.
This bill (A3682) requires utility companies providing electricity, gas, water, or sewer services to electronically notify New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) at least five business days before scheduled work in public rights-of-way. The BPU must create and maintain a real-time online database of this information, accessible to all government agencies and utility providers to coordinate work and avoid conflicts. Exceptions apply for emergency repairs, where providers must notify the BPU "as soon as possible" after work begins. The law aims to improve communication and planning for infrastructure projects without altering utility service standards.
