WHAT OUR

CLIENTS

THINK

A truck, towing the Ditch Witch caused some damage to a wire fencing and protective covering for our wild flower garden; this happened only as the tail end of the towed equipment struggled to clear the Tupelo Circle / Gazebo area safely. Clearly the driver was not aware of the problem as the areas in front of the direction he was navigating were primary. Hamford and James were wonderful in their approach to solving the situation and in their concern for CHELCO clients and residents of this part of Seaside. We are really impressed and grateful and wanted to alert management to this fine example of Southland Utility Services, Inc. personnel as representatives of the corporation.
