About 9,000 hydro poles in Windsor have been given a once-over.
As part of a pilot project, four first-year powerline technician students at St. Clair College have been doing a visual inspection of the poles in partnership with Enwin.
The students take 21 different measurement points of the poles and relay the information back to the utility for further attention.
Director of Hydro Distribution Grant Pennington says the pilot project has been a resounding success for the students and the utility as the project benefits public safety.
