Just one month shy of completing 44 years of service, Dennis George Clough is retiring as the Superintendent of Electrical Maintenance for Easton Utilities. Mr. Clough began his career in the Electric Department as part of the underground line crew in March 1973. Shortly thereafter, he transferred to the utility pole truck team followed by the overhead line crew. In 1976, Mr. Clough joined the electrical maintenance division as an electrician in the power plant. He was promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Electrical Maintenance in 1985, and upon Jack Lane’s retirement in 1999, Mr. Clough was promoted again to Superintendent of Electrical Maintenance.
Mr. Clough has tremendous institutional knowledge of the generation and transmission systems in Easton. He was instrumental in the construction of Substation No. 3 on Goldsborough Neck Road and Substation No. 4 on Glenwood Avenue. He also managed the upgrade of Substation No. 2 on Glebe Park Drive and, most recently, the upgrade of Substation No. 1. This project included the installation of a new power transformer located on the campus of Easton Utilities. All of these projects and improvements were critical to the safety and reliability of the electrical system. Mr. Clough was responsible for installation and maintenance of the traffic signals for the Town of Easton. In addition to serving on the Safety Committee for Easton Utilities, he was an active volunteer with Waterfowl Festival for 15 years and was instrumental in bringing Rudolph back to Easton.
“Through his unwavering commitment and professionalism, Denny leaves a rich legacy at Easton Utilities and our community is far better for his service,” said Hugh E. Grunden, President & CEO of Easton Utilities.
