Public Notice-Drone Electric Asset Inspections

Columbus Utilities Public Notice - Drone Electric Asset Inspections

Starting August 18th and over the next 2-3 months, Columbus Utilities will be conducting Aerial Utility Asset Inspections throughout the Columbus Utilities service territory. These inspections will be carried out by authorized drone operators.

The drones will capture high-resolution images of electric poles, components, and conductor conditions. Flights will occur within approximately 30 feet of electric infrastructure and along electric corridors from asset to asset.

For your safety, please do not approach inspection teams while drones are in flight. Our operators will be happy to answer any questions once the aircraft has safely landed.

For further information, please contact: Columbus Utilities, 950 Maple Avenue, Columbus, WI 53925 Tel: 920-623-5912 Email: cwl@columbusutilitieswi.com

 

Income Guidelines for Home Energy Plus Program Year

Income guideline for the current WHEAP program year (October 1 – September 30) can be found here. Eligibility is based on your one-month income the month before you apply. Although, if you have had a recent change in financial situation, they may consider your current month’s income.

We encourage all qualified residents to apply. Even if you can afford all your bills right now and don’t think you’ll need the help, it still makes sense to apply now. WHEAP can provide your family with relief and keep you from falling behind in the future. WHEAP also opens the door to emergency programs like crisis assistance and emergency furnace assistance.
