Service Installation Requirements

If you have an overhead service you will have to install the riser conduit and conductors in accordance with the local inspection authorities’ requirements (usually the National Electrical Code and building codes). You will also need to provide a place for us to “land” the service wire -- usually a spot on the electric service riser that is high enough to meet code and allow us to have proper clearances. TID’s Customer Information Booklet for Installing Individual Underground Electric Facilities contains information on service installation requirements. For a downloadable electronic copy of this booklet, click on the Customer Booklets link on the left side of this page.

If you are taking service via underground conductors, you will need to install all of the underground trenching, conduit system, pads for any transformers, splice/pull boxes, and service conductor to TID’s specified design. Contact our Standards and Line Engineering Department at 883-8415 to discuss specifics for your project before you lock in your design and order materials. Also, please refer to our Customer Information Booklet for Installing Individual Underground Electric Facilities for information on underground conductors.
