I as property owner filed for new services at the new construction at 868 hazel in Birmingham in April received the confirmation email in early May. Nothing happened. My contractor frequently contacted DTE about the new service but never got a confirmation about the start of electricity. This went on til mid August - the house was almost finished, except of course electricity reliant work as hard wood floor, heating and cooling etc. THEN came the big surprise to DTE: the original house was from 1919, meaning 3 wires. The new one only needs 2, so all existing fixtures and transformers could not be used. Surprise surprise! The solution DTE came up with mid September was a new pole in the backyard (one in every corner then - nice sight) etc to wire up to the house. I am still waiting for that to happen and today is 11/2 and the inside work has come to a stop and I am loosing money daily due to the sloppiness of DTE. Where can I sue them for damages?
