Board flags electrical-code violations in grinder-pump installations, to consult building inspector

Sep 4, 2025

Town minutes report safety issues with residential grinder-pump electrical hookups — double-tapped meter connections, standard breakers where service-rated breakers are required, and unprotected wiring — and a separate leak found under Highway 60; the board will consult the building inspector for clarification.

The full story

The Town of Hustisford Board discussed electrical-code concerns related to residential grinder-pump installations in the sanitary district. Minutes list three issues: wiring coming directly from the meter that is double-tapped (codes allow only a single tap), the use of standard circuit breakers where service-rated breakers are required, and unprotected wiring that "creates a safety hazard." The board agreed to consult the building inspector for clarification and next steps.
