Update on new service procedure from CCEC
|
Cass County Electric Cooperative began a new service procedure for residential construction services in July. They recently provided a few more updates.
The key change: CCEC will only bring the secondary wire to the service location after the foundation has been poured. Their underground contractor will handle trenching to the home, allowing a temporary meter to be set at that time. Temporary services can still be set at transformers and pedestals and will be energized regardless of trenching status.
Winter Concerns: After freeze-up when CCEC subcontractors are no longer working for the winter season, please contact CCEC with remaining houses needing temporary feeds for the winter season. CCEC will push wire and connect temporary for winter season then return in the spring to trench.
