Normally, there are fees for establishing service, and these must be pre-paid.Electrical inspections and approval are required prior to the PUD energizing any service.

CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTIONThis handbook provides you with the necessary information you need to request and obtain a temporary service.Snohomish County Public Utility District #1(PUD) defines a temporary service as “a meansof supplying electricity to your constructionsite for a maximum of 18 months.” Typically, atemporary service is installed to provide powerfor the construction phase of your projectwhile provisions are being made for your permanent power system.Several items need to be completed before wecan energize your temporary service. They are: Call the PUD office closest to your location and ask to speak to an Area Designerto determine whether or not you have overhead or underground service available; Install your service equipment; Obtain a state or city electrical inspectionand approval of your service equipment; Obtain a service inspection approval fromPUD; Pay fees.The remainder of this brochure will assist youwith this process. If you have any questions,please call or visit your nearest PUD office (seeinside front cover) for information on permanent services, or check our website at snopud.com and search on “electrical service requirements.”INSPECTIONS AND CODESThis handbook should be used as a guide. Itdoes not cover all possible federal, state, orlocal requirements. It is your responsibilityto ensure that your project complies with themost recent issue of the National Electric Code(NEC) and any other federal, state, or localcodes that may apply.METER SOCKET REQUIREMENTSYou are required to provide a meter socketwith the following specifications:w Rated 120/240 voltsw Single-phasew Minimum rating of 125 ampsw Maximum rating of 200 ampsw Four jawsw UL-approved (Underwriters Laboratory)The PUD will supply a meter ring.If you would like a service other than 200amps 120/240 volt single-phase, please contact your PUD Area Designer prior to beginning construction.Snohomish County PUD Electric Service Handbook Temporary Service Rev. April 2018—1
CHAPTER TWOTEMPORARY OVERHEADSERVICE The process and cost of obtaining your temporary overhead service can vary, depending uponthe location of our existing facilities. The leastcomplicated and cheapest way a service can beinstalled is if a transformer is located on a pole(see figure 3-3) on or along your property. METER LOCATIONYour temporary meter post should be locatedon your property within 150 feet of the PUDpower pole that will serve you and should belocated within 15 feet of the road or driveway.If the service line will pass throughtrees or brush, a 5-ft. path must becleared to allow our service personnelto run the line and allow the lines tohang without contacting trees or limbs.Maintaining this clear path is your responsibility.The service line path should avoid areas where vehicular traffic will occur,unless your temporary service postheight is increased to provide adequateclearance. (See figure 3-3 for clearancerequirements.)CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTSPlease consider the following: The path that the service line will takeshould not cross property belonging toother individuals.Figure 3-3 shows the clearance requirementsfor the types of terrain most commonly encountered.FIGURE 3-3Service DropPUDFacilitiesPoint ofattachmentMin.24 feetState Highways2—Min.18 feetCity, County roadPrivate roadCommercial drivewaysTruck traffic areasMin. 15-1/2 feet Min. 10 feetResidentialdrivewayFinal GradePorch / DeckWorking PlatformSnohomish County PUD Electric Service Handbook Temporary Service Rev.

CHAPTER THREETEMPORARYUNDERGROUND SERVICEThe process and cost of obtaining your temporary underground service can vary, depending on the location of our existing facilities. Ifthere is a transformer or power pedestal located on your property (see figures to the right),engineering may not be required. Simply install your temporary service equipment (figure4-13) and obtain inspections from the State orthe City, and the PUD. If you have questionsabout our facilities, contact your PUD AreaDesigner.FIGURE 4-4TEMPORARY SERVICE LOCATIONThe following items are required to properlylocate your temporary service equipment: Set the equipment on your propertyno closer than 3-ft. from the powerpedestal. Place bracing and temporary pole awayfrom future service trench location.Support Post4" x 4" min.Meter SocketAll bracing shall be located sothat it does not go over thetop of the workpit and out ofthe way of workers.Braces & Stakes2" x 4" min.See Note 16' max.3' min.Ex45 angletypicalLocated ground rod on theback side of the temporarypost out of the workpit andnot in the way for workers.Ground rod, wire andclamp provided bycustomer per NEC.Leave enough wire forconnection in pedetal4' min. 5' max. from bottomof ditch at pedestal end.DO NOT ENTER PEDESTAL.24" min.36"min.Locate temporary on eitherside of the pedestal (longestsides).

TRENCHING REQUIREMENTSIt is your responsibility to provide a buriedcable from your temporary meter base to ourpower pedestal.The trenching requirements to connect to ahand hole are shown in figure 4-13. The cableyou install should be sized per the NEC andshould have a minimum cover of 24". Trench tothe nearest side of the power pedestal and leaveyour wires exposed. If you discover any otherconductors while digging your trench, pleaseleave them covered.The customer shall provide select backfill(no rocks) for the PUD to use in shading thearea conductors after energizing them. Sandshall be required if select backfill material isnot available. The select backfill or sand shallprovide a 3" bedding below conductors and aminimum cover of 3" above conductors. Thecustomer shall backfill the entire temporaryservice excavation within 24 hours after thePUD has energized and shaded the serviceconductors.Figure 4-4 illustrates the recommended temporary underground service installation. Pleasenote the dimensions shown. Deviations to thisrecommended standard could result in a delayin receiving your service and/or your servicebeing denied.Items owned and installed by the customer:1. 4" x 4" x 10' continuous single structure2. 2" x 4" bracing (post should be bracedfrom two directions)3. Meter socket and distribution panel4. Ground wire (per NEC)5. Ground rods (per NEC)6. Service entrance conductors (per NEC),leave 5-ft. additional at PUD powerpedestalItems owned and installed by the PUD1. MeterRemember that you are required by law tocall the UULC (1-800-424-5555) and requestburied utility locations 48 hours (two workingdays) before digging. Any trenching within 24"of existing underground facilities must be doneby hand.Snohomish County PUD Electric Service Handbook Temporary Service Rev. April 2018—5
