Reporting Theft
Energy theft, also called energy diversion, occurs when individuals tamper with electric meters or electric power lines. This is a dangerous and illegal practice that can result in serious injury and even death for those who try to circumvent the metering system. Even if injuries don't occur, this is still illegal, and when, not if, a person is caught, the penalty for theft can mean jail time.
When people steal power, everyone loses. It's dangerous for them, and can result higher fees for everyone else.
However, there is a way to help. You can be our eyes and ears. If you hear of anyone using illegal power, or planning to use it, please notify Electric Department Electric Code Enforment at 975-8781.
