After Receipt of Completed Application Packet

We will call you to schedule an on-site meeting with a Distribution Line Designer to discuss the service requirements, design, route, and MVEA’s policy and procedures. At the time of the field meet please provide the following:

  • Post the physical street address at the property
  • Location of property pins, including corners and points of line
  • Copy of site plan
  • Location of well, septic system, and leach field
  • Location of the meter(s)
  • Electric requirements: main disconnect size
  • Complete Commercial Load Data Sheet with total connected load
  • Largest motor(s) and type of motor starting to be used
  • Size and quantity of service conductors/disconnect
  • Copy of engineered electric one-line diagram with loads
  • Right-of-Way Acquisition – must be signed by all owners
  • Proof of ownership (Warranty Deed)
  • Be aware of covenant requirements

When the design is complete, the Distribution Line Designer will mail a cost/contract letter. The cost/contract letter is good for 90-days. The following items are required before a project can be scheduled for construction:

  • Return signed cost/contract letter
  • Pay the costs of construction
  • Submit signed Rights-of-Way, if required
  • Other permitting requirements may apply to some projects
  • Pay balances on other accounts, if any

The following items are required before construction can begin:

  • Tree trimming/clearing, if applicable
  • Construction area clear of debris or any other encumbrances
  • Trench route to final grade
  • Any other site requirements that MVEA deems necessary
  • Verification by MVEA that the site is ready for construction of the electric line extension

Failure to comply with the pre-construction requirements may result in the project being rescheduled.

Once released, the project will be constructed as quickly as material availability, project backlog, and working conditions allow.

  • Three weeks after MVEA has received the payment and all rights-of-way and permits, you may contact the Operation’s Superintendent with scheduling questions.

MVEA will set a meter once the Electrical Inspector notifies MVEA of the meter release. Typically the meter will be set the next working day following the receipt of a meter release.

Locating of Existing Underground Utilities

In compliance with Colorado State SB93-155, all existing underground utilities and other facilities must be marked prior to excavation. MVEA will contact UNCC (Utility Notification Center of Colorado) three working days prior to the start of any excavation and request marking of all public utilities. MVEA will not begin construction until all underground lines and private facilities are marked.
