These consisted of 470 normal tickets, <br />7 emergency tickets, 87 updated tickets, 14 cancellations, 10 meets, 5 non-excavation, 1 <br />boundary survey, and 2 corrections. This resulted in a 9.1% decrease in tickets from the <br />previous month and is a 4.2% increase from the prior July. <br /> <br />• Electrical technicians completed 334 service order tasks, updated the power bill, <br />addressed customer meter issues and any off-peak concerns. <br /> <br />• In July, staff did not run the generators due to cooling water issues. <br /> <br />• The substation apparatus technician has been busy preparing drawings for the future <br />East substation project. Also, infrared scans of substation and line equipment found <br />several loose connections which were able to be corrected before they started causing <br />issues. Substation relays have all been updated to provide engineering control to be <br />able to remotely interrogate them. <br /> <br />• We received one of the two Ford Hybrid F-150s that were ordered in August of 2022. I <br />anticipate having the truck placed into service by the middle of this August. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />99
