SERVICE FROM COMPANY SECONDARY SUPPLY LINES
(OPERATING AT LESS THAN 300 VOLTS)

This Section contains rules for the installation of equipment for providing electric service from Company street-secondary supply lines operating at less than 300 volts. In areas where the Company has both overhead and underground supply lines, the method of providing service to a Customer will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The rules in this Section may not apply to certain private, public authority or municipal projects.

UNDERGROUND SERVICE

For electric service in an area already having underground electric facilities, apply for service as described in Sections 5.1.1 through 5.1.4.

Residential Underground Service

For service in a residential plan already having underground electric facilities, call or visit a Division Office as listed on pages 3 through 5. The appropriate Division Office should also be contacted by developers regarding new residential developments of five or more units of single family residences, mobile homes, townhouses, or apartments for an explanation of Tariff Rule 13.2 and a copy of the Company’s "Procedures and Construction Standards for Underground Residential Distribution Systems".

For a typical residential underground service, the Company will install and maintain the service lateral up to the meter base. The Customer is responsible for the installation of the meter socket, service-entrance conductors and all trenching and backfilling. See Figure 3A, BEFORE YOU DIG! CONTACT PENNSYLVANIA ONE-CALL 1-800-242-1776.

Typical underground service connections are shown on Figure 3. In these areas, other than those covered by the Company's Rule 13.2, the Company will own and install the necessary junction boxes or manholes for the underground service line in the street and the conduit extending not more than 18 inches within the Customer's property line.

(a) Where the building is at the Customer's property line and has a basement, the Customer shall furnish and install a terminal box where the conduit enters the basement.

(b) Where the building is at the Customer's property line and has no basement, the Customer shall furnish and install an elbow of 36 inch radius, necessary conduit, and a terminal box on the first floor.

(c) Dimensions of the terminal box mentioned in (a) and (b) shall be obtained from the Division Office. The box shall be mounted not less than one foot above the floor.

(d) Where permission to use enclosures other than a terminal box has been obtained from the Division Office, the Company will terminate its cables in a meter socket, an instrument transformer cabinet, or a Customer's switch box.

(e) Where the building is not at the Customer's property line, the Customer shall at the Company's option either furnish and install a junction box at the property line, or furnish and install conduit from the property line to a terminal box or meter cabinet at the building.

(f) The Company will furnish and install the service cable from the manhole to the Customer's terminal box or junction box at the property line. When the terminal box or meter cabinet is not at the property line a charge, as determined by the Company, shall be made for the installed cost of the secondary cable runs on the Customer's property.
