Service can not be activated until the inspection has been completed and called in to KUA by the City or County. Notifications from the inspector will be matched to the request for service previously made through the KUA Marketing Department, and a line crew will be scheduled to connect the service. Lines are usually pulled in one day and the meter is set the next day. Pulling in Lines KUA's Engineering Department will determine whether service is residential or commercial. The contractor or builder puts up a short temporary pole at the site and attaches a meter can to the pole.
Permanent service is the actual service used to bring power into a completed building.
When the switch from temporary to permanent service is made, the builder or contractor must make a request to KUA's Marketing Department to have the temporary service removed. If no request is made to remove the temporary service and the line crew finds the temporary meter is missing from the site, permanent service will not be installed. If a new mobile home is replacing an old one, the customer must apply for an electric permit from the City or County. Application for service must be made at KUA and a utility deposit paid. An electric permit must be obtained from the City or County Building Department.
