Pole inspections Underway

Osmose Util­i­ties Ser­vices is con­duct­ing pole inspec­tions in York Elec­tric’s ser­vice area around the McConnells and Lowrys com­mu­ni­ties. Employ­ees from Osmose will be going to each pole locat­ed in the areas high­light­ed in the map below.

Each crew will be wear­ing cloth­ing that will iden­ti­fy them as being employed by Osmose. The trucks they will be dri­ving will also be well marked. Many of the crews will use ATV’s or golf carts to move from one pole to the next. They will inspect and look for pole decay and treat if need­ed. They will also look for dam­aged, loose and/or miss­ing hard­ware that is in need of atten­tion. If the pole is found to be in need of replace­ment, they will mark the pole so that it is eas­i­ly iden­ti­fied.

Some of the major roads they will be work­ing on or near are as fol­lows: Old Pinck­ney, Hord, Bur­ris, Chap­pell, Able, Con­nor, Hen­ry and James Wher­ry roads as well as High­ways 322, 97 and 321.

If you have any ques­tions regard­ing our upcom­ing pole inspec­tions pro­gram, please call our mem­ber ser­vices depart­ment at 803–684-4248.
