Utilities Restoration

Often, the fire department must disconnect your utilities as a safety precaution. The utility companies cannot always restore your utilities until repairs are approved and clearance is issued by Building Services, #2 Civic Center Plaza Phone 541-4560

When contacting Building Services it will be necessary to explain your circumstances and arrange for the inspection of electrical, plumbing, or gas utilities.

If insured, contact your insurance company. They may be able to recommend or hire a contractor to assist with utility restoration.

Do not attempt to reconnect the utilities yourself
