Overhead Service To A Pole Or Structure

The Company's overhead service line may end on a Customer's pole when approved by the Division Office. The Company will furnish, install and connect an overhead service line up to 100 feet from the property line to the Customer's pole or structure. There is normally no Customer cost for the first 100 feet or less. The Customer shall pay the cost of lengths over 100 feet as determined by the Division Office.

The Customer's pole shall be yellow pine or cedar, and properly treated. The Division Office can approve other pole types and will specify the minimum height and strength. The pole shall be set plumb and true, and if of wood, at least five feet deep. The pole may require an anchor.

If the Customer continues this service line either overhead or underground to a building, the best metering equipment location is at the building. Pole mounted meter installations are permitted as shown in Figures 8 and 9. For clearances see Section 5.2.1 and Figure 5.

The Company will furnish and install the Customer's pole at Customer request. The Customer's cost will be determined by the Division Office. The Customer will own and maintain the pole.

The Company's overhead service line may end on a structure other than a building or pole when approved by the Division Office.
