When it comes to electricity, Waterloo North Hydro has an excellent safety record.
Our very thorough on-going maintenance program and long-term planning efforts allow us to anticipate and prepare for increased customer demand, new technologies, and required upgrades.
When planning our maintenance and upgrade projects, we are careful to ensure that disruptions to local communities are kept to a minimum.
