Fremont Department of Utilities has partnered with Utility Asset Management to aid in their routine utility pole testing and inspection program this year.
The work is scheduled to commence on Friday, June 7th and is expected to be completed by the end of June.
This year’s general testing areas include 23rd Street to 8th Street (North and South) and Luther Road to Nye Avenue (East and West).
Workers will need access to the utility poles for this purpose. In these areas, you can expect the following:
• If access to poles is hindered by locked gates or structures, workers will knock on customer doors to gain access. If necessary, they will leave a notification to schedule a return visit.
• Workers are mindful of the potential presence of pets in fenced areas and will take all necessary precautions to ensure pet and worker safety during inspections.
• Workers usually wear high-visibility clothing and carry identification badges from Utility Asset Management. Their trucks are marked accordingly.
• The work is brief, typically taking only 7-10 minutes per pole.
• Workers generally operate from sun-up to sun-down, 7 days a week, until inspections are completed.
The Fremont Department of Utilities expects professionalism from its contractors. Their work does not compromise the safety and reliability of the system. Contractors play a crucial role in our efforts to serve our customers.
