New Electric Services and Changes to Existing Electric Services

When contemplating a new service or a change to an existing service it is recommended that the PUSI Engineering Department is contacted to discuss existing conditions, available capacity and possible schedules.  Depending on the work contemplated, one or more of the following forms should be completed and submitted to PUSI Engineering for review.  Upon receipt of the form(s) an Engineering Technician will be assigned to the job and determine the amount of deposit that we expect will be required to cover the cost of our efforts (the minimum deposit amount is $500). During the design process PUSI staff time is then charged against this deposit amount, shortfalls will be invoiced to the customer, excess amounts will be returned to the customer or applied to other customer charges if necessary.  Should you require more information on the process please contact the PUSI Engineering Department.
