UPDATE: JOYCO DRILLING INC is taking care of this repair on Wednesday of this week! Thank you Cheryl for partnering with Stateline to fulfill this need! What a great community we're apart of!!!!!!

Elderly Vetran in Usk, needs some help. He has been without water for 4 months. Is leaving to shower at family's homes and is hauling in water every day for him and his dogs.

We just learned of his situation recently and went to diagnose the problem.
-Failed underground direct bury circuit between the exterior panel & the disconnect at the well head.

All material is on site.
Trench is open.
Estimated project: Half a day.

Task: Install new 200' run of conduit.
Tie in conduit & wire at exterior panel & well disconnect.
Small amount of hand digging at the panel end. Soil is soft.

We have been trying to get to him this past week and have not been able to move jobs around to get out there. Looking for someone who has a half a day and can go get him taken care of. Otherwise we will do it in the next 2 weeks.

He does not have the budget to pay for this job. He has purchased all the material and opened the 200' trench for the new conduit run.

Thank you for sharing this and helping us get his water back on sooner rather than later.

It really has become a joy to bring fresh bread to our customers. 😊 And just so everyone knows, Leo's Excavating LLC dug us the cleanest 180' trench we have ever seen. That's saying a lot after 30 years in the electrical trades!

When we can catch our breath, we'll do some posts about all the many reasons NOT to direct bury your service wires. In the mean time, we've been staying busy this month doing things right, trenching, laying conduit and pulling wire, to make sure the customers financial investment pays off for the long run. If we made a social media post, for every emergency service repair from a failed or damaged direct buried underground line, our page would be on repeat many days.

Shout out to Leo's Excavating for once again, working us into their schedule for the 170' of trenching. Our customer is grateful for the coordination between Stateline, Leo's and POPUD. Thanks also to linemen like Jimmy (among the other fantastic linemen), who are quick to respond and remain personable and helpful when a customer is in a crisis. Being elderly and being on oxygen full time, means power is an essential need. We're honored this customer trusts us, to coordinate and oversee the solution.

What happens if you call Stateline Electric? This right here: Problems solved, forethought into the best solution, advocacy and teamwork... and probably even a fresh loaf of sourdough bread.
We truly value our customers.

It's Sunday evening. There's 2 brains behind Stateline Electric:

One of them is in the kitchen working on a fresh loaf of sourdough bread for tomorrow's service change.
The other one is heading to Metaline Falls for another emergency service call for an elderly customer with a failed leg of power.

One of these roles is not like the other.
Both are vital to the heart of Stateline Electric.

Edit: Stateline is heading north to take care of it.

Is anyone available in the Ione or Metaline Falls area today for an emergency service call? This will be a volunteer job. An elderly, disabled man on oxygen had a GFI fail. He has switched to a generator for his oxygen tank but it's limited on the time it can run. He has suffered a major heart attack, a stroke and needs some help. He lives in a 5th wheel & has no family and no close neighbors. If we can't find an electrician nearby, we will head up as soon as we can pull off the last job site in Newport, but it's over an hour north, so wanted to see if anyone else was closer and willing to help us out. Already reached out to Wes up north, and he's unavailable today.


Thanks,

***Update: Need met, Thank you Bill, with Northern Lights Electric! We appreciate that you answered our call, and went out of your way to meet this need. It's VERY hard for us when we can not get to a customer and it's a wonderful thing to have other local electricians who will go above and beyond to meet needs. ***

ELECTRICIAN NEEDED TODAY or tomorrow for a local service call-
We have a customer we can not get to, who has no hot water and needs an electrician to come troubleshoot the issue. Sounds like it's possibly a failed breaker. If so, he will need a new 30A
2-pole Eaton breaker.
Are there any local electricians who are licensed in WA who can help meet this need?

Location: Downtown Newport
Date: Today

Thanks local community!

What are you doing tomorrow between 3:30pm and 7pm???? Come hang out with us and some fantastic local businesses in downtown Newport, at the Pend Oreille Realty's GRAND OPENING! Ribbon cutting is at 5pm and we hope to see you there.

Also, they will be raffling off certificates from Stateline Electric for a service call with NO service call fee. The certificate needs to be redeemed within 30 days but you can schedule the service call date for whenever it's most convenient for you, beyond the 30 days. If you've been needing some electrical work done, Friday 4/24/26 at 3:30pm is the time to get down to Pend Oreille Realty and get your certificate. We look forward to seeing so many fantastic locals!

Spring is definitely here! Are you enjoying the sunshine and getting excited for the warm weather to return? We sure are. We installed a new feeder to the fiber cabinet at Mi Fiber, and while out here working, we continue to reflect on how much we enjoy partnering with our local businesses. There truly is no place like home.

Not all volunteer work is equal. Definitely hard to complain about anything with a view like this. We aim for a day a week of some form of volunteer work in the community and this one is giving more than it's taking. Get outside and enjoy the beauty of where we live. It can recharge you in the best of ways, especially if you're tired and feeling overwhelmed by the worries of the world. We can't fix everything going on, or even some of it, but we can pause, take a deep breath, and appreciate what's right in front of us. It's going to be okay.

When our local theater owner called saying he had a magician show scheduled that weekend, and the curtains wouldn't open and close remotely, we had to perform a little magic of our own to work it into the schedule. That week was full so it had to be a sunrise appointment, but it all worked out great. Some reconfiguring of the curtain motor controls by Stateline, and some reversing of the contacts by the owner, and the stage was set.

The best part of being a local business owner, is the flexibility to work outside of the box and make sure our neighbors are taken care of. Supporting small businesses like Stateline Electric, or non profits like The Newport Roxy Theater, will always come back around to help this community thrive, one way or another. So, thank you to those who support local!

Don't miss the new show playing at the Roxy. Our kids are heading there this evening for the animated Super Mario movie that just started. Link to the fb page: https://www.facebook.com/share/17DeLQw4Q4/?mibextid=wwXIfr
