Re: New temporary electric service connection fee

The Rocky Mount City Council approved a change in the temporary electric service fee effective July 1, 2010. This change will affect all overhead single-phase 120/240 volt temporary service requiring a service drop of no more than one hundred feet without the installation of any City-owned poles or transformers, or an underground single-phase 120/240 volt temporary service requiring a service lateral of no more than five feet. The costs of the installation and removal of a residential single-phase 120/240 volt temporary service are included in the residential temporary service connection fee. The fee is increased to $100 per meter.

For all other types of temporary service, the customer shall pay the total installed cost plus removal cost minus salvage value of the facilities installed.
