The NineStar Engineering Department will schedule an appointment for you to meet with one of our staking engineers. During your appointment, you will receive important paperwork and general information.

NineStar requires all necessary paperwork, aid-to-construction costs, and any applicable deposits to be paid in full before the installation of electric service can begin. Required paperwork includes the application for service, an underground agreement, and a right-of-way easement. The signature(s) on the right-of-way easement must match exactly as the property is recorded.

PERMITS

Member/builder is responsible for obtaining all electric permits and inspections required by their respective county.

TEMPORARY ELECTRIC SERVICE

If temporary service is required, the member/builder must provide and install the temporary meter structure. Some counties require inspection of temporary meter structures.

PERMANENT ELECTRIC SERVICE

For permanent installations, member/builder must have meter base installed and inspected by the county building inspector.

TEMPORARY TO PERMANENT ELECTRIC SERVICE

Upon request of member/builder, once the permanent meter base has passed county/city inspection, the staking engineer will visit the job site and flag (if necessary) and inspect for our standards for the permanent service requested. The meter base must be inspected by the county building inspector prior to electric service installation.

SERVICE UPGRADES

Service upgrades and/or relocations generally follow the same protocols as new service installations.
