Beginning March 1, 2023, Power Pole Maintenance Company will start electric pole inspections on behalf of Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative in Lewis County. Work is estimated to take two months.
"Identifying and correcting problems such as weakened or broken poles before they create an outage goes a long way in controlling costs and keeping the lights on," says MLEC System Engineer Brent Warf.
Power Pole Maintenance Company vehicles will be marked with an "MLEC Contractor" logo. Contractors will carry identification cards and be wearing yellow vests with the PPMC logo. The evaluation typically takes a few minutes with some occasional photographs for documentation. The home or business owner does not need to be present, as all work is conducted outside.
"It is normal to be concerned when someone unfamiliar is on your property," says MLEC President and CEO Keith Carnahan. "To help put everyone at ease, we keep them informed about the work being done and only choose trusted contractors."
MLEC is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric utility that serves more than 35,000 meters in Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Lewis and Perry counties. We are helping build brighter futures and make connections possible for those we serve. Learn more at mlec.com.
