I hope you are enjoying the start of summer and are able to get out and enjoy all the great things Vermont has to offer. Whether it’s a hike, visiting a local farmers market or getting out on the lake. Once again I am happy to award six $1,000 scholarships to a senior at each of our local high schools. These scholarships are donated in memory of my grandmother, Eunice B. Farr. Summer is always a busy time here at WCVT and our employees and contractors are taking advantage of our limited construction season. Just a reminder that in addition to our technicians, you may see our contractors working in your area. We use the following contractors for field collection, engineering, line construction and buried service work: Eustis Cable Enterprises, JA McDonald, JSI, and Menard and Sons.

Beware of Phishing Scams: Protecting Your Account In recent times, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated in their attempts to deceive unsuspecting victims. One common tactic these malicious actors employ is phishing scams, where they impersonate trusted entities to steal personal information. We'd like to warn our customers about a new phishing attempt that has come to our attention. Some customers reported receiving an email that claimed to be from the "Gmavt Team." The message asserts that if the user does not confirm their email for the "new privacy security upgrade," their email account will be closed. While this may sound alarming, it is essential to be vigilant. How to Identify the Phishing Attempt:
