This is a heads up for everyone with old temp. power:
We know of at least one house in HA that was never finaled in the late '80's. This week Helco came by to inform the owner that they would be pulling out the power lines in two days (today).
This owner has not done anything to the house. Nothing has changed in the 20 odd years.... Today the owner is scrambling, as her power lines to the temp pole are being removed, Helco will not reinstall the power until the house is finaled (a new permit will need to be pulled & home improvements to final the house will need to be done prior to her getting electricity).
She is semi lucky, in that her sister is next door & she can run a power line to keep some things going (refrigerator & such)
Do not know if this is just a single case, or if Helco is starting a clean up campaign on old temp power services...
