You may notice crews working along roads and rights-of-way in the Lutsen area this fall. Arrowhead Cooperative has contracted with EXO to inspect approximately 850 to 900 utility poles as part of our ongoing commitment to safe, reliable electric service.
During each inspection, crews evaluate poles for signs of wear, decay, insect damage, or other deterioration that could affect performance. The findings help determine whether a pole needs continued monitoring, maintenance, or replacement—allowing us to address concerns before they become larger problems.
This preventive work is one of the many ways Arrowhead plans ahead and invests in the long-term reliability of the system our members depend on every day.
