Updates/additions made to this handbook can be made at any time. It is the customer’s responsibility to comply with PUD guidelines in addition to and all federal, state, local codes (including but not limited to National Scenic Area, USDF, BNSF, etc.).
The customer is responsible for contacting the PUD and requesting a Service Request. Please have the following information available:
