ATTENTION — PLEASE
We’re asking again that you let us know if you are
planning new electrical connections in or near Palmer this
summer.
We’ve got a lot of country line to build this
summer, and we must plan our work in advance.
And please bear with us, once you’ve notified us. We
can’t give you electricity the next day, even though we’d
like to. It docs take time to build a line extension.
