Electrical Service Requirements

IVR Operations

Tacoma Power Electrical Inspection has an Interactive Voice Messaging System. We would encourage our customers to take advantage of this tool to set up an inspection or to call for results of an electrical inspection.

You can use this system for:

• canceling a request

• obtaining faxed copies of the results

• finding information on dates and times the inspections were completed.

You will be asked which option to choose to obtain the information which you are inquiring and can also request to talk to a U.S.R. or leave a message for an inspector.

Steps

1. Have your permit number or address of inspection ready

2. Call 253-502-8277.

3. Enter the permit number or address when requested by the recording.

4. To Schedule an inspection you will be prompted through your request for either a residential or commercial installation.

For residential inspections you will be asked to press a three digit code:
#1 for Ufer
#010 for Ditch
#020 for Rough-in
#030 for Backfill
#170 for Service
#110 for Final

0# for Utility Service Representative, and when prompted, 0# again
 

For a commercial you will be asked to press a three digit code:
#1 for Ufer
#010 for Ditch
#080 for Slab
#040 for Wall Cover
#060 for Service
#050 for Ceiling
#110 for Final
0#for Utility Service Representative, and when prompted, 0# again


To obtain the results of an inspection you will be prompted to press #3. Listen to the entire message and the message will give you the results of the inspection performed.

The Electrical Inspection Department encourages the use of the IVR system to expedite your inspection request and answer your need for information.
