Dear Member:
Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative (PPEC) now requires you to have an electrical inspection prior to energizing or re-energizing your service. You must provide PPEC with documented verification of the inspection before the service is energized. In municipalities, townships, or counties within our service area where there is a local inspection authority (AHJ), you will need to contact the local inspection authority and comply with their permitting and inspection requirements.
In areas of our service territory where there is no local inspection authority, PPEC requires you to verify that the installation of your meter base and member owned equipment has been inspected by an electrician. For a manufactured home, the inspection must be performed by an electrical inspector certified by the Ohio Department of Commerce: Division of Industrial Compliance/Building Code Compliance (DIC) or Indiana Department of Homeland Security: Fire and Building Safety Section (IDHS).
PPEC members need to contact an electrician or a DIC (OH)/IDHS (IN) certified inspector (for a manufactured home) and have them inspect their meter base and member owned equipment. After the inspection has been completed, the electrician or the DIC (OH)/IDHS (IN) certified electrical inspector must fill out the bottom portion of this document.
