In total, more than 140 wooden poles have been replaced with new ductile poles for long-term system resiliency.

Lee Electric continues line construction work on the Dowry Creek circuit along Allen Road and on the Merritt circuit along Orchard Creek Road (Pamlico County).

Remember to support these important system maintenance operations. Proper tree care leads to greater system reliability.

Please observe proper distances when planting trees and erecting fences and other structures. And always call 811 before you dig to have underground utilities located before beginning any excavation or construction project.
