. . . and you're off to the races. 

## About

This module is a component of the Faraday data model, valuable to us because it lets our clients operate within the territories of existing utility partners. __Note that this data does not imply that every location within these territories is served by a given utility.__ The [EIA]() provides this information at the county level, and many utilities only cover sub-areas of an indicated county.

This module may require source URL updating as EIA and the Census shift around their data.

Get the state-by-state geojson [here](geojson_territories/).

## To-do:

- [dat](http://dat-data.com/) integration

- Incorporating state-curated territory data at a greater administrative precision (e.g. [city/neighborhood level](http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/pubutil.html))

- Handle multi-state service territories
