  1. The Burlington Electric Department will do no work unless a complete application has been received.
  2. Complete a separate application for each building receiving service. (This applies to subdivisions, condominiums and apartment complexes.)
  3. During construction of residential buildings, service will be delivered under one of BED's non-residential rates such as BED's Small General Service ("SG rate") or Large General Service tariff ("LG Rate"). Once the building is occupied, the building's owner or tenants have the responsibility to notify BED of the change to residential occupancy and may request service under one of BED's Residential tariffs ("RS rate" or "RT rate") if those rates are otherwise applicable.
