Please find attached the approved service change/energize procedure for the Town of Gulfstream
Project.
This project does incorporate some “high leg” services so we need to be sure to follow the
regimen to avoid any unnecessary problems.
Cliff, do we have door hangers? If not can you procure?

Town of Gulfstream Approved Home
Service Change Process
1. Prior to any outage, affected homeowners shall be notified in advance
(no less than 2 days) as to date of expected outage as well as
expected duration of outage. Notifications shall include direct contact
information for urgent issues only. Presently, the outage should be
expected to be in effect for the 8 hour work day in which they occur.
No home is expected to be left without power overnight and some may
have lessor durations but this allows for the transfer of conduits, cut
back of conductor etc. at the hand-hole locations. Transformers that
feed more than two homes may have multiple outages.
2. OPEN DELTA CONFIGURATIONS and 3 PHASE - While the homes are on
still on the existing services, every home will be checked for voltage
and tags will be placed at each lug on the line side of the meter. For
Residents that have 3 phase service, the “high leg” (209v) will be
clearly marked.
3. During the outage at each home, the meters shall be pulled to ensure
steps have been completed prior to final transfer of service.
4. After the services are transferred at the hand-holes and transformers,
the secondary cables to the meter will be energized with the meters
removed so no voltage is entering the homes.
5. Voltage will then be verified at each line side lug previously tagged
along with phase rotation on facilities utilizing 3 phase service.
6. Once everything is verified to be correct, the secondary will be de-
energized at the transformer, meter installed, and then finally the new
service will be energized.
7. We welcome any home owner to have their electrician or maintenance
person onsite to observe the before and after voltage checks.
8. Homes that possess back-up generator facilities need to notify the
Town for an inspection of installed equipment and processes such as
ATS, MTS functions in the interest of crew safety. Additionally, homes
with special needs, such as “lifesaving equipment”, oxygen machines
etc. need to be identified to the Town in order to ensure these services
are recognized and accounted for in the plan.
9. The contact for the Town is Danny Brannon, Project Engineer, who can
be reached at 561-307-9454
