Tideland has hired Lucas Tree Experts to trim vegetative growth in our rights-of-way.

During September, Lucas crews will be trimming out the Lowland circuit before moving onto the Craven County circuit.

Our contract construction crews with Lee Electrical will continue their work in Swan Quarter.

Osmose pole inspections will be wrapping up for the year as they complete work on the three circuits out of our Five Points substation: Braddy Road, Duck Creek and Howell’s Mill.

We are aware of social media posts promoting the installation of signage on utility poles. Our attempts to reach out to the originator of the posts did not garner a response. Please be aware that it is against NC law to post any item on a utility pole regardless of the method used to attach the item.

This is not just for your safety, but for the safety of utility workers who may be required to climb the pole. It is also about preserving the lifespan of the pole itself by preventing rot and splintering.
