In 2007, the Board of Directors approved the requirement that all new and modified services are required to be placed underground. Surveys of our membership have supported this requirement in an effort to provide more reliable and aesthetically pleasing service to our membership. The majority of service related outages have been attributed to trees falling on the service drops; when they are underground this can’t happen.
