In the March 2019 issue of the Hot Watts, we announced that Osmose Utilities Service, Inc. would begin inspecting and treating power poles owned by CHEC. This project was delayed due to the heavy rainfall we received this past spring. Osmose will begin Tuesday, August 6. Osmose crews will start working in the Lona Valley and Beaver Mountain area.
