Additional trenching charges

Winter
During the winter months (Dec. 1–April 1), there is an additional charge for trenching. To avoid this $225 charge per requested service and $2.75-per-foot distribution trench, apply before Nov. 1 and have your site ready for trenching and installation by Dec. 1.

Digging through solid rock is difficult and costly. If you anticipate rock digging, call us early so we can explore other options. Customers will be charged the full cost of solid-rock trenching, rock removal and backfilling. Typical cost is $25 per foot.
