Repairing Damaged Electric Service Equipment

Damage can occur to the service equipment attached to your building. For example, a tree limb may fall on the power line that feeds your house, and the conduit that rises from your meter base may be pulled away from the wall of the building.

Your co-op cannot repair this. You are responsible for remounting this equipment to your building.

Contact a qualified electrician. Do not touch this equipment. This may be energized and could deliver a deadly shock.
Make sure your electric cooperative knows that the power line to your building has been damaged.
