Liberty

Two recent events helped kids get a break from the summer heat. Aurora Library's Independence Day bicycle parade had a great turnout – maybe because of the free snow cones courtesy of the Downtown Project and Sno Jo, goodie bags from the city, and bottled water, suckers, and fans from Liberty. The hot afternoon festivities were capped off with a hydrant party. A fun and refreshing time was had by all. Thank you to our team members from Aurora-area water and electric operations – Sami, Camille, Kaiden, Erin, and Michael – for volunteering their time to make this event a success. Also, a Water Day was held last month in Verona. Liberty worked with the local fire department to provide water for a giant sprinkler to cool off summer-school students. Our Liberty teams always enjoy making a splash! 💦 #ThisIsOurLiberty #CommunityInvolvement #StrongerTogether #MakingASplash #FeelGoodFriday

On Friday, June 6, a team of Liberty employees in Fredericton, New Brunswick proudly took part in the United Way of Central New Brunswick’s Annual Day of Caring.   The team was paired with "Para NB" - a vital organization that offers a free equipment loan program to help individuals with physical disabilities access adaptive sports and recreational activities.   Liberty volunteers rolled up their sleeves to clean and inspect the equipment, ensuring everything is safe, functional, and ready for the next person to enjoy. It was a hands-on way to support inclusion and active living in our community.   📢 Shout out to our hardworking volunteers: Angelle Pelletier, Laura Acton, CPHR, Bianca Bertin, Mike Beamish, Steven Clarke, Nadine Chiasson, Chad Hughes, Jared Braun, and Mike Morrison.

Today we celebrate National Lineworker Appreciation Day – recognizing the tireless dedication of our Liberty electric operations team members working to deliver safe and reliable service to our customers. The work never stops - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through snow, rain, wind, and heat. We thank them (and their families 💜) for their hard work and dedication to the field. #ThisIsOurLiberty #LineworkerAppreciation #LineworkersWeek #UtilityHeroes

Come join a great team!

Did you know? Liberty recently completed a multi-year, multi-phase project to upgrade the electrical infrastructure in the Fallen Leaf area near the California-Nevada border. This project aims to improve service reliability as well as reduce the risk of wildfire ignition in an area that has dense forest, challenging terrain, and increased wildfire risk. With the recent completion of Phase D, the fourth and final phase, Liberty has replaced over 6 miles of aging overhead wire with modern, insulated covered conductor (wire). The covered conductor will reduce the potential for electrical faults caused by contact with vegetation, wildlife, or debris, thereby decreasing the risk of wildfire ignition. Additionally, the project included the replacement of aging utility poles and the installation of new poles to support the heavier covered conductor. These upgrades aim to increase system durability and resilience in the long-term. This project is part of Liberty’s ongoing commitment to providing safe, reliable electric service to our customers and communities. Thank you to all the teams and individuals who worked on this project! #ThisIsOurLiberty

Happy Birthday America! From all of us at Liberty, have a safe and magical Independence Day tomorrow! #ThisIsOurLiberty #IndependenceDay #HomeOfTheBrave

A big thanks to Mason and Nathan, Journeyman Linemen at Liberty, who were joined by Andrew, Lineman Apprentice who were showing off a bucket truck and a digger derrick for the recent Big Rig Night event in Republic, Missouri. They also stood up a 35-foot, Class 1 pole with a cutout (which are used to stop the flow of electricity) installed 10 feet off the ground. Kids were able to get hands-on practice by using an insulated stick to open and close the cutout. Sponsored by the Republic Parks & Recreation Department, the event included a bounce house, face painting, a screening of “The Wild Robot,” and – of course – a lot of heavy equipment for kids to explore. It was a great evening of fun and learning. Thanks again to Mason, Nathan, and Andrew for representing Liberty during this community event! #ThisisourLiberty #feelgoodfriday #lineman #journeyman
