“At SRP, our goal is to provide you with reliable power. We also work within our communities to offer facilities that have a low visual impact on neighborhoods, such as pad-mounted transformers and other equipment. To help these facilities blend in with the surrounding community, we offer customers the option of painting certain pad-mounted equipment. Using your own resources, you may do so while following certain guidelines that help us ensure the continued reliable operation of this equipment for the benefit of you and other electric service customers. Customers may paint pad-mounted transformers, switching and fusing cubicles, and capacitor enclosures, as shown in the photo attached below.”
