Please stay away from pad-mounted transformers (the big green box). While safe, they are not meant for touching, climbing or playing. Pad-mounted transformers carry high-voltage electricity that serves many homes in our communities. 

1. Never touch, climb or play on pad-mounted transformers. Never put fingers, sticks, or other objects through cracks in the transformer.
2. Keep the areas surrounding the pad-mounted transformer clear so that workers can safely maintain the transformer as needed. Keep shrubs and structures at least 10 feet away from the transformer doors and 4 feet away from the sides.
3. Never dig near a pad-mounted transformer. They are surrounded by underground cables. Hitting the cable could result in an electrical shock or disruption of service. Always dial 8-1-1 before you dig.
4. If you notice an unlocked transformer or one that has been damaged, please contact us immediately.
