Massachusetts H3505 requires utility companies to notify property owners of planned construction.

Massachusetts H3505 mandates that utility companies provide written notice to property owners at least 14 days before digging or opening the ground for construction. This applies to companies installing or repairing utility lines, including gas companies and those erecting transmission lines. The notice must detail the expected time and duration of the construction. This bill aims to ensure transparency and communication between utility companies and property owners during construction activities.
