What to do next
- Use the Indiana statewide inventory viewer to check what your utility reported before calling the utility.
- If your utility offers no-cost replacement, sign and return the right-of-entry or replacement agreement quickly to avoid delays.
- If you are outside a current project area, ask whether your utility has a separate owner-initiated process and what costs remain your responsibility.
