This occurs most often on the two lines serving the more rural areas. However, he said the third feeder line travels west after it leaves the core of the city, so it may not have that feature. A substation at Dunn s Corner serves the Bluff road area and Sandy High School to Hood Street. All three feeder lines from the Bluff Road substation serve subdivisions in the city. As a result, one house may lose power, while the one next door may not be affected.
More incidents occur as lines age.
Lines have to be replaced periodically. Mr. Nemmert encourages PGE customers to call when there is an outage, even a temporary one, as sometimes the electric company doesn t know of an outage until they go into the substation and see the breaker has reset itself. The system is automated and calls on outages help pinpoint what is going on, how far the outage extends, and how frequently there is a problem on the line. Measure 7 issue. Scott Lazenby said our City Attorney recommended that Sandy not to be named in the lawsuit.
