Location: Boardman, OR
The Updated Meter Installation project will replace existing automated meters at about 1,000 residences and other service locations south of the freeway at Boardman. During meter installations, disruption to members should be minimal. On the day of the replacement, members can expect to briefly lose power as a technician makes the switch. The new automated meters will help UEC’s ongoing efforts to improve service reliability. In recent years, UEC has upgraded its control and data systems, outage management and field equipment to help operators at its command center in Hermiston more quickly detect and respond to outages with accurate location prediction, reducing the need to send a crew to manually check miles for power lines. The new meters build upon that system.
Anticipated Construction Schedule
Start Date: March 2022
Completion Date: June 2022
