IPUC inspector observed a NPL crew install a 3/4" service line 452 McGuire Rd, Post Falls, ID that
included line locating, trenching, tracer wire, lyco fittings,bedding/backfill. The job could not be
completed because they did not have a right of way permit to tie-into 2"main on edge of the road. Crew
left 60PSI on the line until tie-in can happen. Verified OQs of three NPL employees. Quizzed
employees on applicable AOCs. All procedures were followed.
