Custom Search 2
If you have safety concerns areas on your property that you’d like to see lit up at night to help prevent crime, Grays Harbor PUD may be able to help. Exterior lights can be installed on almost any existing Grays Harbor PUD pole.
If you are interested, call the PUD at 532-4220 and ask for the Engineering Department. the customer service engineer will pull up your address online to determine if there is a pole location available that would serve your needs.
If so, you will then be directed to fill out an installation application form and pay an initial $50 deposit to get the ball rolling. The engineer will contact you once he receives your application. He will work with you to determine where the PUD can place the light, what direction it should point and if there are any additional costs for installation.

All lights cost $150 each to install if they are within 150’ of a transformer or a secondary line. The cost of any work required beyond the first 150’ will be added to the initial $150.
