Thank a Line Tech on this National Lineman Appreciation Day
Thursday, April 18, 2013
The U.S. Senate passed a resolution earlier this week honoring linemen for their work in keeping the power on and designating today, April 18, as ‘National Lineman Appreciation Day.’
The bill serves two main purposes – it “recognizes the efforts of linemen in keeping the power on and protecting public safety” and “supports the designation of April 18, 2013 as National Lineman Appreciation Day.”
At LG&E and KU, our line techs take great pride in keeping the lights on. When Mother Nature throws her worst at us, our men and women give their best, working 24/7 to restore customers' power safely and as quickly as possible.
Line techs are unsung heros. They have a deep commitment and care for our customers. Their devotion to the job also extends to helping others in times of need, too. Through our mutual assistance program, our line techs and field personnel travel far and wide to help utilities in other states restore power when hurricanes, ice storms and other inclement weather events wreak havoc.
As severe weather threatens our area this week, rest assured that our line techs will be ready to respond, regardless of the time or day.
We want you to be ready and safe, too. Visit our storm page to view our online outage map, download our outage map app and for important safety information.
Until next time, keep using energy wisely...and thank a line tech!
