Electrical Connections
Electrical connections during COVID-19 situation
We are continuing to manage new customer connections through our normal processes, but due to current conditions some work will take longer than usual. In an effort to protect our employees, contractors, and customers, we will not be completing optional upgrades or alterations at this time. We will also not be completing any work where it would require outages to other customers. We appreciate our customers' patience and understanding during this challenging time.
