Hunting Season Reminder – September 15, 2024

BARC Electric and BARC Connects are asking for your help this hunting season. As a reminder, do not shoot at or near electrical and fiber equipment and lines.

We are dedicated to providing our rural communities the most reliable and cost-effective electricity and the best internet services. Damages caused by shooting fiber and power lines can result in potential liabilites and criminal charges and also leaves homes and businesses without power and internet.

We know the majority of hunters practice safe hunting and they understand the potential hazards when discharging a firearm. We encourage these experienced hunters who are familiar with the area to help identify locations of electrical equipment to the younger, less experienced, hunters and gun enthusiasts. Tampering or misuse of our fiber and electric lines can not only put yourself in danger but will also affect all other members that are down-line.

Please respect yourself, your fellow members and our power and fiber infrastructure. Thank you for being a valuable consumer of BARC Electric and BARC Connects.
