Steps to a successful permanent electric service installation

Definitions
PSE defines a single-family residence as a structure that is:
• Located on a legal residential lot.
• Approved for occupancy as a permanent single-family residence by the local
governing agency or agencies.
• A parcel where the lot line is extended to the public thoroughfare, even if the
unit(s) shares a common wall(s) with other like living units, such as in zero-lot-line
construction.
A mobile or manufactured home will be considered a single-family residence if it
meets the above requirements, and:
• Is permanently located on a foundation.
• Has had the axles and wheels removed.
• Meets all other requirements for a mobile home permit as required by the local
governing agency or agencies.
NOTE: A mobile or manufactured home located in a mobile home park does not
qualify as a single-family residence.

Service installation responsibilities
Installing new electrical service to your single-family residence is a joint project between
you and PSE.
Puget Sound PSE is responsible for:
Energy • Installing the service line conductors to a customer-installed and maintained
service mast or underground meter service riser.
• Installing the meter in a customer-installed and maintained meter base/socket.
• Energizing your system.
