This work will help provide more reliable, efficient electric service to homes and businesses.

Transmission lines will also be upgraded for greater efficiency and a higher clearance area for safety. <SPAN id=misspell-15 class=mark>Avista</SPAN> does not anticipate any power outages related to this work.</div>
