They used to be a great power company with good rates and reliable power. Now you lose power almost every day even if theres no wind or precipitation and the rates go up... not sure where theyre spending that money because its 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 youre filling up a pool.
in the almost 6 years ive been in houlton, HWC has treated us great!
