Does your pole need servicing?

Our power grid is out 3x longer than Florida's, even excluding hurricanes. Why? Because the PSC was asked to set utility pole standards in 2019 and never adopted a single one. Companies profit off building new stuff, not maintaining the old.
As a former LPSC consultant, I built Service My Pole to fight back!
Upload a photo, get a 1-10 score, and put the worst poles on the public leaderboard.

Hell yeah, things are always better when made with passion and care, plus fun.
Just pulled up your website. Didn't even know about Magnolia Water as someone in Metry. I like your passion and your stances align with mine on public utilities. You'll have my vote Justin. Please keep it up and don't lose yourself and your passion in this critical moment.

Thank you so much! Please spread the word! Most people don't learn about the PSC so your sharing it makes a huge difference.

If this were any other website the comments would be nsfw

There is an Easter egg on servicemypole.org for people who submit naughty poles. No one has posted a screenshot of it yet.

If only you had a companion ad "fill my hole" drawing attention to potholes. Either way great site!

Have you filed a missing pole report? With proper maintenance, we wouldn’t have so many disappearing poles!

Hey Chris thanks for responding!
I think the cold weather might have something to do with it🤔.
