They used to be a great power company with good rates and reliable power. Now you lose power almost every day even if there’s no wind or precipitation and the rates go up... not sure where they’re spending that money because it’s certainly not on the maintenance of the lines given how I never have power any more!

HWC has some of the cheapest priced water in the country, and also has many great benefits that come along with it too, such as a reduced cost on water if you’re filling up a pool.
in the almost 6 years i’ve been in houlton, HWC has treated us great!
