Electric Service Responsibility

1. Service lines are the overhead wires that run from a pole to your house. They are usually a CVPS responsibility.

2. Service bracket attaches the service line to the house. In general, CVPS supplies and maintains it.

3. Weather head, attached to the service cable, prevents water damage to the wiring. This is installed and maintained by the customer's electrician.

4. Service cable runs from the weather head to the meter box and from there to the panel box inside the house. The service cable is installed and maintained by the customer's electrician.

5. Meter socket is installed and maintained by the customer's electrician.

6. Meter is installed and maintained by CVPS.

Notes: An underground service to the house is almost always owned by the customer and is the customer's responsibility. Wiring inside the house is always the customer's responsibility.
