Preface

Reconnecting existing electric service after repair or replacement

All electrical equipment and wiring on the customer side of the meter (including meter
base and service masts) are owned and maintained by the customer. Therefore, you are
responsible for any repair or replacement of storm-damaged or failed metering
equipment. If you must repair/replace equipment of this kind, your service may need to
be de-energized or disconnected.
For more information, refer to Chapter 8, Disconnection and Modification of Service, of
this handbook or contact your CCS Representative at 1-888-321-7779.
