Volunteer Energy Cooperative has announced that crews from their contractor, Power Pole Maintenance Company, will be in the Crossville area performing power pole inspections beginning on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. Crews will consist of 2 to 6 members in pickup trucks and possibly ATV four wheelers. These inspections will allow VEC to identify poles that may need replacement. It will not be necessary for anyone to be home when these crews arrive and power will not be affected by these inspections.
VEC will be inspecting approximately 3,450 poles on the following circuits in the order shown:
Campbell Junction 234 – 600 poles
Fredonia 314 – 300 poles
Fredonia 324 – 325 poles
Fredonia 334 – 1400 poles
Crab Orchard 214 – 825 poles
VEC will not be inspecting the poles along Hwy 127 out of the Fredonia substation due to the road widening.
