IN A YEAR UNLIKE ANY OTHER, WE CAME TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE. Living rooms became classrooms. Kitchen tables became office spaces. And we all suddenly found ourselves spending most of our time at home. In the face of uncertainty, we clung to what pieces of normalcy we could find – and that’s where Conway Corp came in. We’ve always worked to provide the best service because we believe we’re providing it to the best community. In 2020, the strength we saw on display in every corner of our beloved city – from the frontline workers caring for the sick to the families sacrificing big moments to keep their loved ones safe – inspired us to be ALWAYS ON for our customers more than ever. It’s easy to look back on 2020 and remember the challenges. But we also want to shine a light on how we worked as a community to overcome them. Here’s to coming together from far apart and powering through together.

Chief Executive Officer


POWERING NEW PROJECTS 2020 put a lot of things on hold, but life didn’t stop completely. You had drive-through birthday parties, bingewatched multiple TV shows, celebrated milestones and kept moving forward. And all the while, Conway Corp crews worked diligently to keep everything running smoothly.

METER UPGRADES Conway Corp continued its meter upgrade project in

to ensure efficient and reliable utility services.

2020 with the installation of water meters.

These upgraded meters transmit and receive data

New technology and communication capabilities are essential to maintaining the service our customers expect, and new advanced meters and other recent technology upgrades provide a cost-effective way

automatically and securely with our office. Two-way communication eliminates the need for a manual meter reading and provides alerts to help with troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.

METER UPGRADES

CONTINUED

Thanks to these upgrades, water bills will be more accurate, and Conway Corp will be able to identify and remedy problems much more quickly. Water meter deployment was more than 90 percent complete in 2020 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

DONAGHEY CORRIDOR As the city of Conway continues to grow and change, Conway Corp is proud to help pave the way for a brighter future. In preparation for the city’s planned road construction on Donaghey Avenue, Electric, Water and Cable Department crews worked in 2020 to move power lines and replace water and sewer mains. Phase 1 of the project began in 2019 and was completed in 2020. Crews are now working on Phase 2.

M YCO N WAYCO R P U P DAT E In a year where it was easy to feel disconnected, finding more avenues to stay connected to our customers was more important than ever. Conway Corp updated the myConwayCorp app for iOS and web in early 2020 with a fresh new look and feel, as well as more content relevant to the Conway community and our customers. The app now allows customers to schedule appointments for broadband and cable services, browse an improved TV guide, pay their bills and much more – all directly from within the app.


CO N WAYCO R P T V In 2020, ConwayCorpTV brought movies, shows, live sports, Wampus Cat coverage and more directly to the streaming devices of our customers. The app is now available on TVs and mobile devices with streaming capabilities – no box or cables required.

MUTUAL AID When disaster strikes, Conway Corp is always proud to help our neighbors in need. In March 2020, Senior Foreman Robert Meek, Senior Lineman Travis Lauer, Substation/ Relay Technician Bryce Hoggard, Apprentice Lineman Paul Langley, Groundman Kyle Troxler and Journeyman Lineman Lance Heer traveled to Jonesboro to assist with power restoration after a tornado struck the town. In October, Journeyman Lineman Si Anthony, Groundman Kyle Troxler, Journeyman Lineman Nathan Ball, Senior Lineman Jake Ballard and Apprentice Lineman Trey Brown also traveled to Louisiana to restore power in the aftermath of Hurricane Delta. Our crews were able to assist with these communities’ power crews thanks to Mutual Aid, a program among public power companies. Should a major outage ever occur in Conway, crews from these communities would come and provide the same help for us.

project on the Markham Street Corridor, as well as on

and Salem roundabout.

WAT E R Q UA L I T Y IMPROVEMENTS In 2018, Conway Corp partnered with Garver Engineers, Arizona State University and the University of Central Arkansas to find a permanent solution to annual taste and odor issues customers were experiencing with our water. The bench scale study analyzes our drinking water from Conway Corp’s water source, James H Brewer Lake. Part of the study includes a five-year contract with the UCA College of Natural Science and Mathematics. In 2020, the UCA Biology Department continued to check the water for natural constituents that impact taste and odor. This helps Conway Corp have an early understanding of the occurrence of nuisance constituents that can alter drinking water. Conway Corp continues to invest in timber management practices including controlled burns, select cutting and tree planting for lake bank stabilization and runoff filtration. In 2020, Conway Corp constructed a Riparian Buffer that consisted of more than 3,000 trees along the lake. All of these things are working together to aid in the preservation of the Brewer Lake watershed.
