Dear Sir or Madam:
Due to increased requests and the complexities of moving a house/structure, Clark Public Utilities has included additional requirements to the house/structure move guidelines. The additional requirements are immediately in effect, as follows:

move, and it is the customer’s responsibility to inform Clark Public
Utilities of the time frames for the requirement.
Clark Public Utilities will continue to work with state, county, cities, and other utilities to make this process as safe and easy as possible. If you have any questions, or for more information on these guidelines, please contact me at (360) 992-8802.
