Dothan Utilities has received a national commendation from the American Public Power Association (APPA) for its help in restoring electricity to the Florida cities of Ocala and Bartow.
Dothan Utilities sent a crew of 10 line workers to help both cities, which experienced widespread outages from Hurricane Milton.
“Dothan has been a beneficiary to APPA’s mutual aid program, and we are always glad to help others because we know we may need help again in the future,” said Chris Phillips, the Dothan utilities Assistant Director of Electric Operations.
Through the City of Dothan’s partnership with Electric Cities of Alabama, Dothan Utilities participates in the American Public Power Association’s Mutual Aid Network, which coordinates with utilities and authorities during widespread power outages.
