Outdoor lighting and fixtures should be on their own grounded circuits and be installed using equipment designed specifically for outdoor use. When performing outside chores, keep ladders away from electric lines. Before digging, contact Pennsylvania One Call at (800) 242-1776 for location information on underground utility lines.

Wellsboro Electric Company can also help you locate buried power lines. Never use power tools in rain or on wet surfaces. Consider protecting your home and out-buildings with lightning rods. Make sure outdoor antennas are correctly grounded and equipped with lightning arresters.
