More Information
Spencerport Municipal Electric is always at work to save the consumer money and reduce interruptions through its yearly tree-trimming program, hiring RG&E to monitor lines with heat-seeking infrared technology, and finding ways to protect the system from wire-chewing squirrels. Other ways the village is working to keep costs low and increase reliability include installing underground conduit pipe in all new developments, using better-grade wire and cable, installing more switching centers and lightning arrestors, and sectionalizing points to isolate problems on the line and limit outages.
