Earlier this summer, Elvis Lozano represented CHEC on a week-long trip to Washington, D.C. on the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour.

“This trip was amazing because I built new relationships and memories that I’ll never forget,” said Elvis. “I am grateful that CHEC selected me for this opportunity.”

Today is National 811 Day! Whether you're planting a tree, installing a fence or starting ANY project that requires digging, play it safe and contact 811 first.
A quick call or online request can help locate underground utility lines, preventing service interruptions, costly repairs and serious injuries.

811 services are free and simple to use. Dig smart, and dig into safety before your project begins.

Some of the best energy-saving habits start at home. From reminding us to turn off lights to teaching us not to waste what we have, parents and grandparents have passed down practical lessons for generations.
Happy National Parent’s Day to all the parents, grandparents and caregivers helping build better homes.
