BACKGROUND On March 31, 1997 the State of California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted General Order 165 (G.O.165) imposing on investor owned utilities standards for the inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement of electric utility distribution facilities. The standards established minimum inspection requirements for certain electric distribution facilities, including maximum allowable inspection cycle lengths, condition rating, record keeping, reporting on scheduling, and performance of corrective action. In March of 1998, the CPUC recommended that all publicly owned utilities comply with the requirements of G.O.165. Although Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) is not regulated by the CPUC, RPU has chosen to comply with these standards as they represent good industry practice.
