WREC

Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative, Inc. has really been busy up in my neck of the woods. WREC has had their subcontractors, Davey, Inc. and Pike, Inc. working on a project to pave the way for major capital improvements along Lake Lindsay Road and Edgewater Avenue through Nobleton. Without going into technical jargon, WREC's public relations manager, Ernie Holzhauer related to me that the work being done was to improve current service in our area, and be prepared for future growth in Hernando County corridor. The capital improvements being made by WREC is to double the size of transmission lines in the northeast portion of our county. Taller power poles, equipped with larger insulators, are being installed to accommodate these larger size transmission lines by WREC. Davey, Inc. has been extremely busy clearing and trimming trees to make way for these taller poles. Pike, Inc. has worked in conjunction with Davey to install the taller poles in a well orchestrated, timely fashion. As soon as the taller poles were installed, the WREC trucks rolled in to begin work on the completion of this major capital improvement. The rural community of the Istachatta and Nobleton area are certainly lucky to be members of this electric cooperative. Thanks go out to Withlacoochee River Electric, for meeting our current electric needs and investing capital dollars to be prepared for our future in Hernando County!
