If your electric meter is not outside, please read the following details on our Service Entrance Upgrade Rebate Program. The purpose of this program is twofold. One is to promote electrical safety for Brainerd's customers by eliminating the older residential service entrances. This program will apply to existing residential customers served by the Brainerd Public Utilities Commission with the following provisions. Existing electrical meter must be located inside the house.
Program applies to both overhead and underground service entrances.
A licensed electrical contractor or the homeowner, at the expense of the homeowner must perform all electrical work. All material used to upgrade the service entrance must be new. An electrical inspector must inspect all work. A water meter remote must also be located on the outside of the house. All requests for locations must be made by calling the above toll free number at least 48 hours before digging begins.
