Did you know that attaching objects to Piedmont Electric Cooperative’s utility poles without consent is illegal and hazardous to our line workers?
Unauthorized attachments create significant dangers for line workers. Items like signs, tacks, staples, barbed wire, with and other attachments can make poles extremely difficult and risky to climb, obstructing essential repairs. Even a single nail can allow moisture to penetrate the wood, accelerating decay and necessitating costly replacements.
Piedmont Electric line crews regularly climb utility poles under harsh conditions. We urge the public to avoid placing any objects on utility poles. Any unauthorized attachments will be removed by our line personnel.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe working environment for our line workers.
