As part of the ongoing commitment of Louisiana public power utility Lafayette Utilities System to system hardening and reliability, a portion of its aging wooden transmission infrastructure was recently replaced with high-durability steel poles across our service territory.
“These modern steel poles offer maximum protection against high winds and severe weather, lowering the risk of storm-related outages, and strengthening grid resiliency for all LUS customers,” LUS noted in a recent social media post.
“By investing in these upgrades, LUS is reducing maintenance requirements, improving system reliability, and ensuring our community stays powered through every season,” it said.
LUS provides electric, water, and wastewater services to its customers in Lafayette, La.
