Final pieces nearly in place for Washington Island electrical cable

By Terry Kovarik

Washington Island Electric Cooperative Manager Robert Cornell says the final pieces of the project, two reels of cable, will be shipped to the island this weekend.

 

 

 

Once the barge arrives, Cornell hopes the project will be finished in early December. That timeline, however, is dependent on the weather.
