- Distribution SubstationsCrews inspect substations, which can serve hundreds or thousands of people.
- Main Distribution LinesMain lines serve essential facilities like nursing homes and larger communities.
- Individual Homes and BusinessesAfter main line repairs are complete, we repair lines that serve individual homes and businesses.
