Roger Staig, Hydro’s manager of electrical inspection, said increases will average 10 per cent, and affect all residential, commercial and industrial installations. Staig said the construction boom and productivity improvements en­ abled Hydro to avoid increases during the period since October, 1988, but costs have risen to the point where an adjustment became necessary. The new inspection fee for a typical single detached residence will be $86, up from the current $78. For public safety, the Electrical Safety Code requires inspection of all electrical work.
