Power Pole Inspections

During 2021, we inspected roughly 7,500 poles. We also re-inspected some of these poles to ensure reliable measurements, and this work finished in late February of 2022.

We will resume power pole inspections this summer.

Drones

Drone inspections for 2022 started at the beginning of May and will be conducted through the summer.

We utilize drones to look for trees that need trimmed and inspect equipment for maintenance problems. Our drone inspections for 2021 are complete, resulting in efficient inspections *Updated 5/9/2022

Fiber Installation - Grid Improvement Project

We use a contractor, MasTec, to install fiber optic cable on our existing overhead power lines and into our existing underground electric corridors. The crews are currently working in the Livermore, Waverly, Wellington, and Bellvue areas. You may see bucket trucks and crews with boring equipment in your area as we work on this project throughout our entire service territory. We will only operate in our right-of-way; if we do not have proper access, we will work with members to gain access. Learn more about this project.
