§ 56875 Utility Service Petition Requirements

• •If people want a district to provide gas or electric service, they need to file a petition or resolution.
• •Before the petition or resolution can be discussed in a public meeting, a copy of the Public Utilities Commission's report must be on file with the executive officer.
• •This rule helps make sure everyone has the right information before making decisions about gas or electric service.

A group of neighbors wants their local district to start providing electricity to their area.

Before the district can even talk about it in a public meeting, the neighbors need to make sure a report from the Public Utilities Commission is filed with the executive officer. This report helps everyone understand if it's a good idea or not.
