Prior to CRA-ES energizing the secondary service, if the total kW demand for the service is greater than 25 kW the customer shall install power factor correction capacitors on all to the service. The goal of power factor correction capacitors is to increase the power factor to unity or 100%.
If the power factor is found to be less than 85% by use of revenue meter registers an adjustment for power factor will be made by increasing the billing demand for each month by 1% for each 1% or major fraction thereof by which the lagging power factor is less than 85%.

Power Outage:
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Colorado River Agency Electrical Services (CRA-ES) will endeavor to provide safe and reliable energy to its customers. CRA-ES shall use reasonable diligence to supply continuous service; but does not guarantee electric service against interruptions, and is not liable to the customer for damages, personal injuries and losses resulting there from acts of god/nature, nor will such failures constitute a breach of agreement for services.
In the event of a service failure, the customer must attempt to determine if the failure is due to a fault in his or her own equipment. If the fault is found to be in the customer’s equipment, or if the customer’s main breaker is in the off position, the customer will be responsible for the cost of a service call, see the After Hours - Power Outage page for more information.
