consent of a Habitat for Humanity Construction Project Manager, Critical Home Repair Manager or Construction

facility serving multiple sites but within a reasonable walking distance to all the sites. In the event of small projects not

exceeding a 72 hr completion period, arrangements might be made with the owner prior to the start of construction

being built in the same general location, there may be one power pole serving multiple sites but within a reasonable

walking distance to all the sites. Some Rehab and Repair Program projects may use existing power if they are GFCI

protected.
