“All Utilities” Letters as issued by the PUC, Jan 2000 – Sept 2015

“All Utilities” Letters as issued by the PUC, Aug 1994 – Sept 1999

History of the OJUA

In November 1999 a task force was established by the Oregon Legislature to advise the Oregon Public Utility Commission at the direction of the Legislature, addressing issues pertaining to utility poles. The task force submitted proposed rules for determining appropriate sanctions for unauthorized attachments and criteria for certifying compliance with laws regulating pole attachments. The Oregon Joint Use Association (OJUA) was formed based on the initial work from the task force and the realization of what else needed to be accomplished to help the entire industry be successful.
