Pecos City Council approves electrical code variance change
The Pecos City Council voted to amend a city ordinance to let the Electrical Board grant variances from the electrical code. The move follows discussion over a moved commercial building lacking conduit wiring. Arm strong argued it would cost up to 15000 dollars to install conduit wiring. inspectors noted Romex wiring exists and a fire hazard was not found. The council sought relief while avoiding favoritism, and engineering officials aimed for next month’s move.
