Utility Pole Inspections in Progress
Pole inspections in Wheat Belt PPD's service area are scheduled to begin on July 13, 2026.
Zeitview will be conducting the inspections on behalf of Wheat Belt PPD. The first phase of work will take place in the Bridgeport area, along the line from Bridgeport to Redington.
Additional inspection areas will be announced as work progresses. Wheat Belt PPD will notify customers before inspections begin in their area.
Where:
Morrill County
Contractor:
Zeitview has been contracted to complete the work.
What to expect:
-
Zeitview workers may use drones and specialized inspection equipment to safely evaluate utility poles and identify maintenance needs.
-
During an inspection, a drone will hover near each pole for less than two minutes. Drones are operated by certified pilots and will follow the path of utility lines.
-
A knock on your door for permission to enter your yard will be rare and only made when needed to safely complete an inspection. You may see Zeitview employees out in your neighborhood while they inspect poles or utility boxes. As a precaution, please keep all pets indoors or leashed when going for walks.
