As April arrives, it brings with it the showers that produce spring flowers. It also means the beginning of a potentially stormy season, which can cause power outages. While your local electric cooperative strives to provide reliable electricity to our members, there are times when Mother Nature has other plans. Most of us can ride out a storm from the comfort and convenience of our homes. However, there is a group of professionals that spring into action when the weather takes a turn for the worst – co-op lineworkers.
When you think of October, you might think about cooler weather, your favorite football team taking the field or pumpkin-flavor food flooding the grocery store. However, you may not think that your local cooperatives help you to receive services and goods at an affordable cost. As October marks national co-op month, check out some of the ways your cooperatives provide value to you every day.
