The honor was received in recognition of their efforts in responsible tree trimming practices and programs to promote appropriate planting near utility lines. Proper planting techniques are encouraged throughout the year by Water and Light employees. The utility also provides free shade trees through its Tree Power program. Speaker Service Employees of Columbia Water and Light are available to speak on a variety of topics like conservation tips, electrical safety, proper tree planting techniques, electric production and water treatment. Tours of our water, electric and railroad facilities are also available.
Blood Drives Several times each year electric distribution employees organize a blood drive.
Columbia Water and Light employees and workers from our tree trimming service, Asplundh, give an average of 25 to 30 units of blood to be used in our community.
