Electrical work in Cadillac

Consumers says the customer owns the service drop attachments and masts, and that crews reconnect the wires only after a licensed electrician has checked or repaired the pole or cable. For a downed line, call 911, then Consumers at 800-477-5050. Our storm damage guide covers what to do first.
