Never touch, climb or play on a pad-mounted transformer. Never put fingers, sticks or other objects through cracks in the transformer.

Keep areas surrounding a pad-mounted transformer clear so that workers can safely maintain transformers as needed. Keep shrubs, trees and other obstructions at least 10 feet away from a transformer.

Never dig near a pad-mounted transformer. They are surrounded by underground cables. Hitting the cable could result in electrical shock or disruption of service. 

Always call 8-1-1 before you dig!

Report problems, such as damaged or unlocked transformers, to your local electric cooperative. 

 

Save your local electric cooperative's phone number to your contact list.
