I've never lived anywhere where "the power utility is the city",
so you are laughable.

You've never heard of municipal power companies? Lessee, not far
from where I live, Palo Alto, Sacramento, and several others I
can't think of just at the moment run their own power systems
within their cities. Marin County just decided to set up a
county-wide power authority. So yes, in many places "the power
utility is the city".

Now who's laughing?

I guess we still are laughing because the real issue was that the
poster claimed utilities are routinely notified by residential
customers when they add significant loads to their homes. First he
claimed it was required of homeowners by utilities directly. Then
he claimed it was because you had to get a permit for electrical
work. Then he claimed that because his electric utility happens to
be run by the municipality, that when you get an electric permit,
that counts as notifying the utility.

I only relayed what I was told by the city inspector or the utility
worker (not sure which). OK - they must be liers.

Well, there certainly is a LIAR here. Since you "can't remember" who
told you this nonsense...

Can you remember the exact details of everything that happened to you years ago?
