Restoring Power

This is the top-of-the-page graphic for the Restoring Service page. In addition to the page title, there is a photo of two CWLP linemen standing by a fallen utility pole. A CWLP bucket truck is in the background. The graphic also contains a CWLP seal and wording to identify the page as being part of the Electric T and D section of the City Water, Light and Power website.
