Glendale Water & Power's Investments in Infrastructure

You may have seen different crews in your neighborhood lately. Glendale Water & Power’s electrical crews and our certified contractors are inspecting electrical equipment such as power poles, power lines, electrical vaults, replacing or upgrading power poles, and inspecting power poles for building the new fiber optic broadband network. It’s all part of our ongoing investments in maintenance, modernization, safety and repair to ensure that we continue to deliver reliable electric service and prepare to deliver high speed communication services.

Electrical Crews in Your Neighborhood: What You Need to Know

GWP has contracted with the following approved contractors to perform some of our maintenance, assessments, and modernization work. Our contractors will carry picture badges with their company name. Depending on the location of power poles, at times it is required for GWP contractors to access the power poles that are located in backyards, behind multi-family buildings, and commercial properties.

• West Coast Electric & Power (WCEP) and ENTRUST Solutions Group: These contractors will be inspecting all electrical equipment for preventative maintenance. These include power poles, electrical vaults, and transformer rooms. They will also need access to backyards depending on the location of the power poles. At times they will conduct aerial inspections using drones to look at equipment at the top of power poles and power lines. They will knock on the door, state that they are here to inspect power equipment. If there is no answer, they will leave a door hanger and check back again.

Customers can always call to verify certified contractors with our Customer Service Department at (855) 550-4497.
