Discovering the Rich History of Memorial Day
For many, Memorial Day signifies the unofficial start of summer, marked by barbecues, lake trips and a welcome three-day weekend. However, beneath the surface of these modern traditions lies a profound history rooted in remembrance and sacrifice. This solemn day, observed annually on the last Monday of May, carries a weight of significance that extends far beyond a day off work.
Tree Trimming Ensures Reliable Service

That’s why you’ll see our crews out in the community, proactively trimming trees around power lines. This work is essential for keeping your lights on and ensuring a safe, reliable power supply.
