    Oxford News

    If you cruised through downtown today and noticed bucket trucks reaching for the clouds—no need to worry! There wasn’t a power outage or emergency. Our hardworking Utility Crew was just doing what they do best: upgrading electrical lines and installing fresh new wire to keep everything running smoothly.

    These folks don’t just jump into action during outages—they’re always out there making sure your power stays strong and reliable. Give 'em a wave next time you see them in the sky!
