Line information

Line information must be obtained from all utility and telecommunications companies that own and manage lines in the city of Gera. Private lines that are not used for public supply and disposal can be laid in the public road space after a "Permission contract for private lines in public traffic areas" has been concluded for a fee. However, private installations can only be laid if the facilities of the public utility companies are not impaired. An informal application accompanied by an informative site plan is required to draw up a permit agreement.
