Utility Service to New Buildings
If you are planning to construct a new building, your first step is to acquire the necessary permits. After or at the same time you are satisfying the requirements for permits, you can apply to have utilities installed to and/or on your property. In most cases power, water and sewer lines already exist in the alley or street adjacent to vacant lots.

If you are planning to develop property into lots, or in some rare cases with existing building lots, you will need to have utility lines extended to your property. In either case, the process for extending or hooking up to utility lines is the same. You need to contact the Public Works & Utilities Department (2nd floor of City Hall or phone (360) 417-4700 or email publicworks@cityofpa.us and provide us with the following information:

• Name and address of property owner
• Name and address of contractor performing work
• Telephone number (home and/or work)
• Physical address of lot, legal description of property or tax parcel number
• Construction schedule
• Size of electrical panel and size of heating source (if electric)
• Number of bathrooms or any special water needs

With this information, Port Angeles Utilities can determine if we need to extend facilities to your property and the required capacity of equipment necessary to provide utility services for your building. We will provide you with a written estimate of the cost to extend facilities or hookup to existing facilities, as well as a list of any other items you are responsible for.

High voltage power equipment and main water and sewer lines, as well as all metering equipment, are provided by the City at cost. Payment must be received from the owner prior to the City installing any new facilities. After utility facilities are installed, you will still need to set up an account with the City.

The property owner is responsible for providing and installing facilities on his or her own property including but not limited to: 1) underground 120/240 volt power line from transformer to building; 2) water line from the meter to the building; and 3) sewer line from main line to the building. Specifications for owner provided facilities will be provided upon request (local contractors are familiar with City specifications).

Temporary Disconnects
If you are going to be away from your residence for a month, or loner - you may wish to consider temporarily disconnecting your water, sewer and solid waste services. This could potentially save you over $100 per month in utility charges.

To temporarily disconnect, please call Customer Service at 360-457-0411, and press "1". Please note there is no charge to disconnect, but there is a $25.00 fee for each time your service is reconnected.

Please note: If you temporarily disconnect your service - it is highly recommended to also turn off the breaker to your hot water tank.
