Please be aware that contractors are currently working this week at the CWEP complex to repair and replace the ADA-accessible ramp located near our east parking lot entrance.

As part of this project, the existing ramp is being removed and reconstructed, which means handicap-accessible access to the building will be unavailable for the next several days while work is completed. In the meantime, our drive-thru remains open and available for payments and all customer service needs.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we make these improvements to better serve our customers. We will keep you updated once the project is complete and access has been restored. Thank you for your patience!

Recently, CWEP was honored to take part in Fairview Elementary's Career Day as they wrapped up another great school year! Our electric and water crews spent time with Kindergarten through 3rd-grade students, sharing what they do each day to help keep our community powered and supplied with clean, reliable water.

Students had the opportunity to learn about the many CWEP careers that help serve Carthage every day, ask questions, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the important work our crews do to keep essential services running 24/7.

A big thank you to Fairview Elementary for inviting us to be part of this special day and for helping students explore the many career opportunities available right here in their own community! ๐Ÿ’™
