Any updates for the Guthrie substation area? Washboard Road? Thank you all

Your really fucking helpful!! All your really worried about is robbing people!!
Cooperatives worldwide follow seven core principles and values set by the International Cooperative Alliance. These principles guide America's electric cooperatives to prioritize members' needs, distinguishing them from other utilities.
One of the seven cooperative principles is Concern for Community.
UDWI REMC is thrilled to see how the community fund program helps area organizations plan for things like disaster recovery and other projects.

❗Attention members: The phone number that you receive Billing & Usage Alerts from will be changing on June 1
New Number: 812.558.5869 (changed from short code 352667)
Why the change?
Currently, UDWI REMC has its Billing & Usage Alerts coming from a SMS short code number. To better differentiate official UDWI alerts from potential spam text messages, we are changing our alert number to that of a local area code.
How Will I Be Affected?
If you are currently enrolled in the Billing & Usage Alert system, you will not have to re-enroll in the program. Members will also still be able to use all of the same text commands with the new member alert number: HELP, JOIN, START, STOP, BAL, PAY, MENU, RESET
NOTE: Billing & Usage Alerts are NOT the same as Outage Alerts. Outage Alert notifications will not be changing in any way.

We would like to give a shoutout and welcome Kratos Defense and Security Solutions to Bloomfield and the southern Indiana region— as their local co-op, we look forward to serving their electric needs as they expand operations!
For years, Kratos has been a robust member of the southern Indiana ecosystem, helping to support our local economy. Earlier this week, the company broke ground on a new hypersonic testing facility at WestGate@Crane Technology Park, which will result in the creation of more than 100 jobs within the area.
Additionally, it was announced earlier this month that Kratos, in a joint-venture with Israel-based Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, will be building a multi-million dollar facility in Bloomfield. As fellow members of the community, we look forward to seeing how these developments bring economic growth and provide more opportunities to local communities!

Looks delicious!
Electric blankets can lead to overheating, electrical shorts, and a significant fire hazard due to the high wattage required of them. Always remember to unplug your electric blanket to avoid any kind of fire hazard!
