As an inspector, I have a very good relationship with the POCO in the twp that I work for. Great guys, only a cell phone call away.
As an EC (inactive now) I had 'good' to 'great' contacts with a few PSE&G wiring inspectors.
Here (NJ) EC's are allowed to do disconnect & reconnect resi services up to 200 amp single phase, overhead. Anything else requires a POCO shutdown, which can become $$$ if a 'guarantee' reconnect is required.
As to me calling, as AHJ.....quite a few individuals are not very happy that all it takes is a phone call to have unsafe services cut at the pole.
