Crews are moving quickly through 4 specific work zones. Once BGE has completed their work at citizens' residences, they leave behind a notification to let the residents take into account that a plumber will be visiting their homes. BGE is providing Baltimore City with a list of locations where plumbers are increasingly being dispatched to inspect and turn on appliances if they are in working condition. Plumbers are assigned specific addresses. If a customer is not home when the plumber arrives, a hang tag with the plumber's telephone number will be left for the customer to arrange entry for the plumber. A plumber should arrive at a home that has received a BGE notice within 24 to 48 hours.
