Local knowledge for La Plata, San Juan County

Around La Plata, properties are spread out and electrical systems work hard: wells, heat, shops, and outbuildings a long way from the meter. Cold winters and dry, windy springs take their toll on outdoor wiring and connections.

Depending on your address, power in San Juan County typically comes from Farmington Electric Utility System, the City of Aztec, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
