March 2006 Issue
In February (see February 2006 Contactor), OPPD announced that effective March 1st we would no longer supply meter sockets and slip-joint risers with a few exceptions. As a result many sockets for residential applications were issued by OPPD up to the March 1st deadline. In order to accommodate the large number of sockets provided by OPPD during the last few weeks in February, slip-joint risers will be supplied and installed by our work crews as follows:
1. OPPD will supply and install the slip-joint riser for residential preconnect or final permits received in our office at Energy Plaza on or before April 7, 2006.
2. Since there is normally an interval of 1 week from the time of inspection to the time a permit arrives in our office, inspections should be completed by March 31, 2006 to qualify for this extension.
3. Builders/Electricians will be responsible for supplying and installing slip-joint risers as well as the meter sockets, for all preconnect or final permits received at our Energy Plaza office after April 7, 2006. OPPD’s inspector will turn down all requests for preconnect or final service, if the slip-joint riser is not supplied and attached to the socket after the April 7th deadline.
4. The slip-joint riser must be installed in the bottom-left knockout of the meter socket.
Attached please find a spec sheet for the slip-joint riser assembly and a list of potential suppliers for the sockets and slip-joint risers. OPPD has purchased the slip-joint riser from Kriz-Davis Company in the past but we are also aware that Omaha Winlectric Company supplies the riser.
Please refer questions you may have to OPPD Consumer Sales and Service Department at 552-5830.
