We are also working on changing out the fixtures in the older shop to <br /> LED's. <br /> • The wind blew some garbage into our feeder located by the landfill. This caused the <br /> recloser to operate and knock the generator off line. <br /> • A gopher or some other type of rodent chewed through an underground primary splice. <br /> This caused one of the two feeders that feed a data center to open up resulting in us <br /> having to feed them from a different feeder. We had Connexus come out to locate the <br /> fault so we could thaw the ground and repair it. <br /> • PyewEDED 01 <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E <br /> 72 <br />
