For all new, modified, relocated, or upgraded electric services — whether overhead or underground — the customer is responsible for the purchase and placement of all required metering facilities, including the meter base or meter main, in accordance with EPUD specifications.
All metering equipment must be installed, inspected, and approved by the State or City electrical inspector prior to EPUD construction or service energization.
EPUD does not supply or install customer‑owned metering equipment.
If a road or right‑of‑way crossing permit is required, EPUD will apply to the appropriate agency for approval after payment has been received and all required documents are complete.
Once your application and fee have been received, an EPUD Engineering Technician will be assigned to your project.
Depending on the type and complexity of the request:
A site visit may be scheduled
You may be asked to provide a building permit
Additional information may be requested to complete the design
Electrical service is designed based on the loads provided. Loads not identified in the application may result in redesign, added cost, or future corrections.
