Line Extension: Full-Time Residential Services

Wasco Electric will provide electric service to all member-applicants within the boundaries of it's service territory according to the policies approved by the board of directors.

The cooperative will extend electric service to any full-time residence, which is resting on a permanent foundation and has an approved water and sewer system, without charge provided the total estimated cost does not exceed the cooperative's construction credit allotment.  The construction credit allotment is calculated annually and is obtained by dividing the total depreciated utility plant dollars by the number of active accounts at the end of each year.

If the estimated cost of construction exceeds the construction credit allotment, the applicant shall pay a cash aid-in-construction for the differential amount prior to the construction of any service.

The following items are required prior to any extensions;

• A legal description of the property.
• All right-of-way easements.
• Signature of a ten-year purchase of power contract.
• The first years minimum charges (based on transformer size) in advance or a satisfactory letter of credit from a previous utility.
• All estimated construction costs in excess of the construct credit allotment.
