Each lot owner would be required to provide a Bannock County building permit, or power permit. When a power permit is issued by the County, the Lot number and Road name will be address used by RMP to identify the customer’s premise. The cost is $25.00 for the permit, i.e., permit for power for water pump at a well or permit for a trailer power permit. This is a one time fee. The county number is 208-236-7230. Barbara is office manager -
The lot owner is required to install an approved service pedestal (see attached sketch) and obtain an Idaho electrical permit (homeowner’s permit is obtained from the Idaho Department of Labor and Industrial Services (208-334-2183)) for the new connection.
This work can be done by lot owner or by an electrical contractor. (fee is $40 plus 2.5% of cost of materials plus your labor at $20 per hour).
The local inspector is Todd Wilding, 208-251-3556 cell or 208-897-5387 office from 7:30-9:30 am.
Best price for conduit for this project is from Whitehead Electric 801-394-1657, Jim Strank. Pedestal comes with a post – about $250 (100 amp service) -$316 (200 amp service). 100 amp 3 phase wire would be $1.25-3.00 per foot depending on how far you run the power. The longer the distance, the heavier the wire to prevent power loss. 200 amp 3 phase wire would be $2.67-4.50 per foot. Need 3 inch conduit. A fuse box would be at the end of the power line. I will look to see about getting a group discount on meter pedestal. See attachment for sketch of underground service for mobile home.
