Utility pole inspection underway

COLUMBIA, MO (August 3, 2016) - If someone lives near overhead electric lines, they might notice someone taking notes while wearing a neon yellow Columbia Water & Light vest and a hardhat. There is no need for citizens to worry. The workers from Lee’s Inspection are contracted to take an inventory of 16,000 of the utility’s poles. They will note any problems, what other lines are attached to the poles and ensure the pole numbers match the information in the City’s Geographic Information System. The work will continue into the winter months. This is part of an on-going maintenance program funded by the electric utility to ensure the electric system remains reliable for our customers.
