    Work Order Checklist

  • When will my work order be complete?

    Crews cannont begin construction on your work order until all the items on your checklist have been complete. The staking engineer will fill out your  Work Order Checklist to show you exactly the steps you need to take in order to get the process started. Because each new construction is different, it is hard to determine when the project will start. You can always call into our office to see the progress.

  • What does it mean to be a member?

    When you sign up for service at a cooperative, you aren't just a customer --you are a member-owner!
