Install New Electrical Service

Building a new home or business?
We'll get you hooked up.

To have electricity installed to your property you’ll submit an application for new service. Depending upon the complexity of the job and number of applications we’re working on, this may take between two and eight weeks.

You can find a list of PUD 3's Engineering Specifications & Policies and our Service Rules & Regulations in the Document Archives.

How much will it cost?

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.

Where's the best place to place your meter?

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.

For goodness sake, don't tamper with the meter.

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 $360.00 tampering fee plus actual costs.
