This has been an ongoing <br /> project that had to be done due to our high fault current. <br /> • Continue working on changing out some of the rusty junction boxes and removing ones <br /> that are no longer necessary. During the process of going through these areas,we also <br /> install fuse pads for better sectionalizing when a fault occurs. <br /> • Mi-Tech Pole Inspection Services tested 301 of our poles. Three poles had some minor <br /> issues that will need to be addressed, and eight poles that did not pass inspection will <br /> need to be replaced. <br /> • We had approximately 330 customers out of power after the storm on June 25th. A tree <br /> fell on Feeder 74 and broke the pole on County Road 1 which was the cause of a majority <br /> of customers that were out of power. As the damaged pole extended out into the road, the <br /> Elk River Police assisted with traffic control. Attached is a picture of the damaged pole. <br /> • Put up a fixed and a switched capacitor bank on Feeder 64 out of the north substation to <br /> help correct the power factor. <br /> • Painted the street light poles on Holt Street near Aldi, and on Zane Street near Walmart. <br /> We are also going to paint some switchgear cabinets. <br /> • On June 29th a car struck a three phase dead-end pole with a three phase underground <br /> riser on it, and a single phase overhead tap. Attached is a picture of the broken pole. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • Picture—Storm Damage—June 25, 2016 <br /> • Picture—Vehicle Damage to Pole—June 29, 2016 <br /> rOIVERED 11 <br /> Ei4 Page 1 of 1 4411E <br /> Reliable Public' <br /> Power Provider POWERED TO SERVE <br /> 107 <br />
