The new meter can disconnect and reconnect power from the PUD office. This is a technique we currently use and will continue to use. Disconnecting and reconnecting power remotely allows us to do so much more efficiently. It also reduces the amount of times our staff must access your property and increases safety for our field staff. Please see our General Terms and Conditions for more information about our disconnect and reconnect policies.
No. Like our current meters, they will be compatible with the Generlink transfer switch.

They will be read the same way our current meters are read, using our electrical infrastructure.
There will be no additional cost to you as a customer. We are replacing meters as part of a planned capital project. This will have no impact on your monthly bill.
We will turn your power off for about 5 minutes to change out your meter. Your power will then be restored, much like it is following a power outage caused by a storm.
We will knock on customers’ doors and attempt to notify them prior to changing their meter.
Our current network meters are nearing the end of their service life. They were installed in the early 2000s. As part of our Strategic Plan, we are proactively replacing our meters instead of waiting for them to fail and cause unplanned expenses.
