Lightning can strike anywhere at any time. Meter socket surge protectors are the first line of defense for protecting homes against power surges from strikes that directly hit the distribution lines. Since lightning can enter a home through a direct or near strike, Power and Communications recommend customers also install outlet protectors such as wall-socket or strip surge protectors on interior outlets to provide additional protection for 120-volt appliances, such as household appliances, computers, and other electronic devices
To purchase a residential meter socket surge protector complete and return the application form to: Town of Estes Park, Utilities Department, Suite 100, P.O. Box 1200, Estes Park, CO 80517. Please note that payment is due upon application submission or as an installment on the customer's utility bill. The surge protector installation will be scheduled once the application is processed.
