How to apply for an electrical permit from Manitoba Hydro Permit Account
To save the trouble of having to mail Hydro a cheque every time you apply for a permit open a Permit Account with them. You will need your Permit Account number in order to complete permits.
You may also want to consider applying for the EPermit program
so you can setup and manage all your permits online. See
http://www.hydro.mb.ca/customer_services/permits_and_inspections/electrical/epermit.shtml
for details.
