The following are guidelines necessary to receive a free underground
secondary/service offered by Natchez Trace Electric Power Association.
The interested builder must do the following:
1. Contact the appropriate NTEPA representative prior to any construction
above the slab or above the lowest conventional floor. If the footing extends
past the brick ledge, the customer shall provide a notch in the footing. The
notch width depends on the type of meter base and the depth of the footing.
2. Verify that the new home is all-electric. (Included with the exceptions
below):
The new home may be equipped with "one" set of gas logs or "one" infrared
gas heater (not both in one dwelling) for emergency purposes and also use a
duel fuel heat pump or geo-thermal unit if desired. The new home can also
have a gas cooktop and /or a duel fuel stove.
3. Verify that a heat pump will be installed for the primary HVAC.
4. The new home must have an electric water heater to be eligible to
participate in the new homes program.
*** A new electric hot water heater or an electric replacement will qualify for
a $50 bill credit. ***
