Ordering Emergency Permit Cards (EPC)
Submitting a Permit Application
Applying for an Emergency Permit
Emergency Permit Cards (EPCs) are used by a utility company to record emergency repairs that must be responded to immediately, for instance, a water main break or a power outage where the emergency situation or repair impacts traffic.
Because these situations are an emergency, correcting the problem takes priority over applying for a permit. In anticipation of a need, utilities estimate how many Emergency Permit Cards they will need and order them in advance.
Emergency Permit Cards expire after one year.
Note: Because Segment and Offset From and To fields are required on the Work and Summary Locations screen, enter zeros in these fields to satisfy the requirement.
