Electrical disconnects & reconnects
When an irrigation customer requests a service disconnect or reconnect, please contact customer service at 509-766-2505 to schedule.
Prior to service reconnect, our customer service representatives need to know
- Where and when the work occurred
- What type of work was involved, such as:
- Alter an existing electric service
- Replace a main breaker
- Add electric service disconnects
- Add or change a pump or irrigation circle
- You must have a valid permit for the work in place (where permit is required).
- Verify that an L&I inspection is complete and sticker is attached to the facility being energized.
*Please note that emergency reconnects are allowed before an L&I inspection, but only when work is completed by a licensed electrician and is accompanied with the appropriate permits. A follow-up L&I inspection is still required as soon as possible.
Rates for Irrigators
Rates are set by Grant PUD's elected Board of Commissioners and are subject to change at the commission's discretion.
