Sumter Utilities Linemen Recognized  by Southern Living

We are honored to share that our hardworking team at Sumter Utilities has been recognized in Southern Living for their tireless efforts following Hurricane Helene. The article highlights the critical role our linemen played in restoring power to YMCA Camp Greenville, bringing hope to the community amidst the devastation.

After Hurricane Helene swept through the Blue Ridge Mountains, Sumter linemen, along with crews from Gagnon Line Construction, worked around the clock to restore power to the camp. Despite the challenges, their dedication and swift action restored not only electricity but also hope to the camp staff and families.

“When they restored the power, it restored a whole lot of hope to us here,” said Cory Harrison, Vice President of YMCA Camp Greenville, expressing the impact of the crew’s efforts.

The crew took a moment at Pretty Place Chapel after completing the restoration to reflect on the impact of their work. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together in times of need, and we are proud to be part of such a dedicated team.

We thank Southern Living for shining a spotlight on the incredible work our linemen do every day, and we remain committed to going above and beyond for the communities we serve.
