– Patrick Moore, City of Hamilton Project Manager
“Your Crews were very easy to work with, and went out of their way to ensure that interruptions to customers power were kept to a minimum. They had the utmost respect for the customers, and were kind and courteous when dealing with Hamilton residents. Jerry Pack and Mike Kunstman were great representatives for your company and were a joy to work with and went as smooth as possible. Midwest’s commitments to safety and efficiency really stood out in the day to day operations.”
– Patrick Moore, City of Hamilton Project Manager
“Hamilton is very appreciative of all that Midwest has done to help maintain our electric system’s reliability and we hope that the option for working together in the future remains now that the project has come to a close.”

“I wanted to thank you for the work that Midwest has been doing for the City of Hamilton. It has been just over two months since the start of the city wide pole replacement program and already your crews have really made an impact upon this city.With a little over two months remaining on the project, Midwest has already completely finished one of the sections replacing poles that were in the other two sections of the project. At this point, Midwest is more than halfway complete with the entire replacement project, and the city could not be happier with the results.”
