It’s Code Enforcement Appreciation Week! We are grateful for all this team does each day. So far this year, they have worked to remove 106.27 tons of debris from the City.

It’s Public Power Week, and we are so proud of our Lawrenceville Power team! After the destruction of Hurricane Helene, our team provided mutual aid to both Fitzgerald, GA, and Elberton, GA. They spent many long days replacing broken power poles, removing trees, working around dangerous energized lines, and hanging new transformers. It was a relief for families and community members in those areas to finally have their power restored. Thank you to our dedicated team for being there for our neighbors in need!
