Electric System

The most expensive part of the infrastructure was the electrical. We thought this would be the easy part since we had power lines right on our lot along Pope Lane. Unfortunately, you have to get the power from the lines to the ground first. And deal with the power company. It was like pulling teeth to get the power company to come out to the lot and give us an estimate on what had to be done and how much it was going to cost. In the end, we were able to tie into our neighbor's transformer and only had to pay the power company a hook up fee. But we still had to run over 200 feet of electrical lines to the meter base out by the road and then another 300 feet of line up to the house site. Oh, and we had to run another 300 feet of electrical lines out to the well site to run the pump! We are just glad to have it all hooked up.
