I called and received answering machine. I need to get permit for someone that just located apartment, and told she needs to get this permit to turn on utilities?
Anyone knowing the process, advice welcome.

Entergy should have been released from requiring permits to restore power. They should be using their discretion with their customers.

Welcome to government redtape 101. You will be waiting 2-3 weeks for that permit BAW.

Never heard of this. You need a permit to connect utilities now?

The utilities company need one from the parish in order to operate in that area

Pretty standard after things like floods and fires. There's a danger of causing a fire due to electrical shorts if damaged electrical systems are connected to the grid, so many places make you get a safety inspection and a permit to reconnect. It's similar to the permit required to connect a house for the first time. The house is assumed to be unsafe until inspected/approved and deemed safe.

That's pretty funny. When I got to my parents house Monday morning there was still 3 feet of water in the yard. Their water fountain in the back was still going plugged into an outlet completely submerged. I also found a blower in the garage that had been underwater for almost 2 days and running the entire time.
So much for that whole safe/unsafe thing.

You did write fountain. I'm imagining the pool.

It's all good... enough whiskey and I'd swim in a fountain.

Oh, I thought the OP meant in general. Not in times of flood or fire.
