Electrical service customers are required to maintain a clear buffer, be that vegetation or manmade obstructions, around electrical meters. Homeowners must maintain at minimum 18″ (1.5 feet) clear on either side of the meter, and 36″ (3 feet) directly in front of the meter to ground level to allow access. This buffer is designed to allow safe access for PUD staff and electrical service professionals, should manual meter reads be necessary or an emergency dictate access to the site.
Please maintain the required space around meter equipment.
