PUD 3’s engineering staff is specially trained to design a safe, legal, and cost-effective plan to connect your new home or business to PUD 3’s clean, reliable electric grid. Because there are so many variables, we do not give “rough estimates” for specific jobs.

All customers must submit an application for electrical service in order to receive a cost estimate.

This handout may offer a better explanation.

• PUD 3 must have access to the meter every month.
• The meter base must be installed on the outside of the building, where it’s easy to get to.
• Don’t put the meter base in these locations:
  • Over 5 feet off the ground
  • In a carport or other places that may be enclosed later.
  • In the same area that your dog will be kept.
  • Anywhere you want absolute privacy.

Customers who have disconnected or reconnected their power without proper authorization and/or have tampered with the meter, or had their seals cut will be billed a minimum tampering fee plus actual costs. (See the Fee Schedule A for current meter tampering fees).
