Step #1 - Pole Attachment License Agreement

Communications companies interested in making attachments to Chelan County PUD owned poles must have a fully executed Pole Attachment Licensing Agreement in place with Chelan County PUD before applying to attach equipment. To inquire about the agreement process, please call us at (509) 661-8400 or email: service@chelanpud.org.

Once a Pole Attachment License Agreement is in place, you're ready to apply.

Pole Attachment Permit Applications
are required for:

  • Attaching wireline pole attachments to one (1) or more poles
  • Overlashing
  • Modifications (any change in type, nature, dimensions, weight, or location of an existing pole attachment)
  • Attachment removal

Applications must be submitted with all required information outlined in the application. Download and complete the Pole Attachment Permit Application.

Pole Transfers:

Chelan County PUD requires that all Licensees use NJUNS (National Joint Use Notification System), a web-based asset management system for transfer notifications. New Licensees must register with NJUNS as a part of the licensing agreement execution process. Existing Licensees must transfer or remove equipment in the timeframe designated in the Licensing Agreement.
