The Locating Department had a total of 66 locate tickets for December. Some of <br />them were meets which required several trips back to the same area as needed to <br />mark utilities. Two of the tickets were emergency locates. <br />2. The Metering Department continues with weekly and monthly substation checks, <br />changing out meters to the radio read meters, and doing the monthly power bill. <br />Also, working with the Electric Department on capacitor banks. <br />3. The Security Systems Department had a total of 92 phone contacts, 18 personal <br />visits, 18 systems quoted, 21 sales made, 17 installs completed and 25 service <br />calls for the month of December. Great month for the Security Systems <br />Department! <br />4. Map books continue to be updated daily as crews add or change something in <br />them. We are getting ready for printing a new edition. <br />5. Power Plant staff has performed the monthly run of the generators and everything <br />looked good. Staff is working on the written lock-out tag-out procedures for <br />each piece of equipment in the power plant. In this process, a pump cut-off <br />switch was found to be defective and couldn't be turned off or on. It was repaired <br />by staff after finding out that it was too old to buy parts for. <br />
