Your cooperative is proud to recognize the dedicated team members who help keep our system running safely and reliably. Our right-of-way professionals work year-round to maintain clear access to power lines, manage vegetation and ensure safe distances between trees and electrical equipment. Their work plays a critical role in preventing outages and protecting our community.

To you, a power pole may look like a place to post a sign. To utility crews, it is critical equipment. Nails, staples and tacks can create hazards for lineworkers. A tear in a protective glove can result in electrocution. Please don’t post signs on utility poles.

As temperatures rise, so does demand for electricity. During summer months, energy use typically peaks in late afternoon and early evening when air conditioners are working hardest... a friendly reminder that our peak summer hours are from 2 pm to 7 pm. Curb your usage and help us Beat the Peak.

Most home electrical issues start small… and get ignored. Here's what to check today:

• Loose outlets
• Frayed cords
• Overloaded power strips
