• Once your application is processed and all fees are paid we will send a crew to the site to connect your service(s). If you are applying for a new electric service you will be contacted by an Engineering Associate for an appointment to meet at the job site.
• Electric jobs will be designed by the Electrical Engineering Associate. It is the responsibility of the Associate to advise Customers of Sheffield Utilities' Policies for new Construction. This will include meter spots, pole location, line extensions, property easements, aid-to-construct costs, trimming or cutting of trees, wiring specifications for various sizes of meter bases, etc.
