ELECTRIC COMPETITION: SMEU employees compete in Lineworker Rodeo

San Marcos Electric Utility employees recently competed in the Seguin Apprentice Lineworker Rodeo.

The contest, which took place on July 1, provided an opportunity for a small group of employees from neighboring municipal electric utilities the opportunity to practice skills and showcase the profession. 

The competition included a series of five events, each worth up to 100 points, which tested competitors ability to perform rescues, climb smoothly and safely, wire a variety of transformer banks, change a cutout, and tie knots used on the job for rigging.
