Preparing for Electrical Service Installation

Customers must obtain an electrical work permit.
Installation includes underground facilities from the meter base to the PUD access point.
The State of Washington, Department of Labor and Industries, must inspect and approve the installation before Pacific County PUD connects the service. Customers will need to notify the PUD when they have passed their L&I inspection.
It's important to research and comply with local requirements before commencing your project.
For guidance on wiring code requirements, you can reach out to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries or seek assistance from a qualified electrician.

Consider that engineering, permitting, and scheduling requirements need time before constructing a new electrical service.
Timely submission of applications and adherence to
District-set requirements are vital prerequisites.
