Electrical service for Umatilla’s small-town homes, lakefront lots and rural properties at the edge of the Ocala National Forest.
Umatilla is a small city of about 3,700 residents in northern Lake County, known as the Gateway to the Ocala National Forest. It was settled in 1856, grew with the railroad in the 1880s and the citrus trade after that, and was incorporated in 1904. State Road 19 runs through the center of town, and dozens of lakes sit within a couple of miles of the city limits.
Homes here range from older houses in town to lakefront lots and rural properties. Older homes often need panel and wiring updates. Anywhere this far out, a long outage is a real possibility, so backup power is a common request.
