Oley has no borough government of its own, so electrical permits go through the township under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As with most of Berks County, the township typically hires a third-party agency to review plans and inspect the finished work rather than running its own building department. We handle the permit, the scheduling and the inspection visit.
Met-Ed, billed as Penelec in parts of the county, is the main electric utility around Oley, and PPL Electric Utilities covers other areas. A service upgrade or meter move needs their disconnect and reconnect, which we book. Line damage is theirs to fix; the meter inward is ours, any hour of the day.
