S & L Pole Testing will be performing utility pole tests
next week. They will finish a small area in the southwestern part of Blaine township
in Cuming County and the southeastern part of Pilger township in Stanton County.
They will also be working in the eastern part of Kingsburg township in Stanton
County and Wisner, Beemer and Elkhorn townships. This will also include the
town of Beemer in Cuming County in the Cuming County Public Power District
service area.
Work is to begin Monday, March 6th and will take
a few weeks in each area. You will see S & L Pole Testing pick-ups and
ATV’s along the country roads. Please be aware of these workers and drive
carefully.
Most utility poles are made of wood and their constant
exposure to the environment takes a toll. Wind, moisture and soil conditions
all can distress or decay wood. Regular pole inspection and treatment helps to
spot and take care of any problems before they become critical situations.
