During the current critical period, we are committing ourselves to take actions to prioritize the health of you, our customers, and our Colonial Team of employees. We have instituted a series of changes in how we will interact with each other, the public, and our work during this vital time.

- We will complete the exterior service to prevent issues from occurring inside.
- Should any issues persist inside, we will make the determination on what necessary actions may need to be taken
