​Can I get an encroachment permit?

Yes, however please refer to the construction FAQs above first. Utilities (including roads) are considered essential functions and those doing work on utilities are given broad discretion to make their own determination about how they proceed with their projects.  Utilities requesting an encroachment permit must validate that they consider the work to be essential when filing the encroachment request.  All other previously active encroachment permits were automatically suspended. Please fill out the form on the website. If you are planning on waiting do to the work, thank you for helping! Just let us know on the form and we can note your status. If you are doing essential work and must continue, please fill out the form to reactivate your encroachment permit to ensure that you are in compliance with the order. Without a new or reactivated permit, the project may be shut down and penalties assessed.
