How Electrical "Highways"
Help You Live Better
Wherever you live in South Texas, electricity is ready to serve
you at the touch of a switch. Most of it comes from CPL’s 13
power plants and is delivered over a far-reaching network of
CPL power lines. Chances are you have more than one source of
electricity — so that a single plant or line failure will not inter-
rupt your service. This extra protection — plus an ample supply
of electric power for residential, agricultural, commercial and
industrial use — results from careful planning and efficient
operation by CPL’s 2,300 skilled employees. Their experience
and training are devoted to providing you with^dependable
electric service at the lowest possible cost.
