§ 10103 Public Utility Work Exemption

This law says that any work done straight by a public utility company because a public agency told them to do it is not covered by the rules in this chapter.

Key Takeaways

•Work done directly by a public utility under an order is excluded from this chapter.
•It doesn’t matter if the work is supervised by the public or paid for partly with public money.
•The exclusion applies no matter what other rules are in the chapter.

Example

A city orders the water company to replace broken pipes after a flood, and the water company does the work themselves.

Because the work was done directly by the utility because the city told them to, the rules in this chapter don’t apply to that pipe‑replacement job.
