The chief building official may, prior to final inspection and approval of any electrical or gas equipment, grant permission for a temporary power pole to supply electrical power for construction purposes and temporary gas for dryout purposes if, in his or her judgment, such temporary supply may be used without danger to life or property and there exists a reasonably urgent necessity for such temporary supply.
Approval for the use of temporary gas for dryout purposes shall be limited to thirty (30) days and such gas service shall be discontinued by the company or person supplying such gas to the building for such purpose at the end of the thirty (30) day period unless notified by the chief building official that such temporary gas connection approval has been extended for an additional thirty (30) days. No person shall use, or permit to be used, any electric power or gas supplied under a temporary permit for other than construction purposes. Permission for the use of temporary electric power or gas shall be subject to revocation by the chief building official if he or she finds that such temporary power or gas is being used for other than construction purposes.
