Pole and Meter GPS Identification Project Continues, Contractors are on the Right of Ways

Bowie-Cass Electric Cooperative has begun a 2-year project with C.T.& T. Engineering to acquire G.P.S. coordinates for all of our meters power     poles. During this project, cooperative members may  see C.T.& T. teams walking, or driving the right-of-way as they number the 120,000 poles in the Bowie-Cass system. These teams will be working 10 hour days which will include some weekends as needed to complete this project. The C.T. & T. teams will be wearing high visibility clothing and typically drive white pick-up trucks and ATVs with logos and signs on the vehicles.

    The information gained from this project will improve the cooperative's mapping system, allowing    for "turn by turn" routing, improve our field inventory of materials and equipment, and allow us to communicate with members and callers by the use of pole numbers to find their locations.
