How
much excess conductor. Please notify your staff about this update.
Customer Requirement standards C-SV-1200, “Residential
Underground Service Boxes”, and C-SV-3200, “Commercial
Secondary Service”, have been updated to clarify Tacoma
Power's requirements for the amount of excess conductor the
customer is to leave in the SSB.
This is four feet for SSB’s without bottoms and ten feet for SSB’s
with bottoms, both measured from the top of the box.
T&D crews need this extra cable to train and coil them so that
when they have to access them later, they can pull the connectors
outside of the box to work on them.

Electrical
meters required inside cabinets
To ensure the safety of
Tacoma Power employees and the public, and in the interest of
increasing security and reducing vandalism at Tacoma Power
facilities, it has become necessary that Tacoma Power can only
accept electrical meters inside cabinets at unsupervised locations
such as intersections, street corners, street margins, and county or
city roads. These cabinets must be EUSERC approved per Customer
Service Policy 2.4 A 2. This policy change is effective immediately.
It affects installations such as street lighting, signal
lighting, pump services, communication services, and data services.
