In these instances, the customer is responsible for all repairs. WAPA will not reinstall meters until repairs are made by a licensed electrician. A formal letter acknowledging the completion of repairs must be submitted to WAPA, along with a request for service reinstallation. All fees usually associated with this service are being waived during the restoration period. Customers are advised to make repairs to damaged weather heads and meter bases as soon as possible. Once crews have reached your neighborhood, those customers who have not had their weather head or meter base repaired, will not have service restored until the second level of restoration work. Repair your damaged weather head or meter base now to avoid a delayed restoration of service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"\">On Wednesday on St. Croix, crews continued work on Feeder 6A to complete a circuit from Richmond power plant to Five Corners.
