Central Electric Cooperative’s annual pole inspection program is scheduled to take place throughout June and July in the areas of Aurora County and Jerauld County outlined on the right. The cooperative contracted with SBS Power Pole Inspections to complete the testing. They will utilize a crew of three to five workers who have performed testing in our area in previous years.
The inspection program is intended to detect poles with potential faults and prevent future unplanned outages or damages. Approximately 5,000 poles will be tested. Members may notice the crews digging around poles or riding ATVs and pickups along power lines. Crews will identify themselves by using Central Electric magnets on vehicles and other possible means. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Central Electric Cooperative.
