On Going Projects

FEMA Morrill County Project 

Beginning in mid-to-late July, crews will begin rebuilding approximately 14 miles of power line in Morrill County that was damaged during the April 2024 ice storm. Work is expected to continue through February 2027.

Where:
Morrill County 

Contractor:
Colorado Power, Inc. (CPI)  has been contracted to complete the work.

Western United is supplying the materials. 

What to expect:

• Utility crews and construction equipment along the roadway

• Potential traffic delays or restricted access in work zones

• Increased activity through the duration of the project

We appreciate your caution and cooperation as we make these critical system upgrades. Thank you for your continued support of Wheat Belt PPD.

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. 

We appreciate your caution and cooperation as we make these critical system upgrades. Thank you for your continued support of Wheat Belt PPD.
