That is the extent of their policy. Nothing in writing, which is what I am pushing for. What do other utils nationwide have? Formal maximum turn-on / test / turn-off time periods before inspection? In writing? Or seat of the pants?</span></div><div class="yiv1827141336MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: sans-serif; "> </span></div><div class="yiv1827141336MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: sans-serif; ">Kirk Herander</span></div><div class="yiv1827141336MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family:
