SLV REC maintenance project to begin

SAN LUIS VALLEY—SLV Rural Electric Cooperative will be conducting a maintenance project in the southern part of the San Luis Valley beginning in mid to late-April.

National Powerline, a contractor from Arizona, will be changing out all transmission insulators from Waverly Substation to Stockade Substation, then from Stockade to San Acacio Substation. They will need access along all transmission lines in the area.

Residents in this area are asked to contact SLV REC if they have a locked gate or anything impeding access for the crews; please call or email Chief Operations Officer Shawn McKibbon to discuss (719-852-3538, [email protected]). 

Updating the infrastructure will continue for approximately three months. JKL Associates, Inc. will also be doing some work, adding fiber on the same lines for the next six-eight weeks.

Please reach out to SLV REC with any concerns. The hope is to make this project as simple and seamless as possible for all residents affected.
